- Book Synopsis
- The second in a series of five books, this book tells the history of life at the start of the Mesozoic Era during the Triassic Period, which was between 252 and 201 million years ago. In this period, the first lepidosaurs (the group containing snakes and lizards) and first archosaurs (the group containing crocodiles and birds) appeared. The first dinosaurs walked the land, the first pterosaurs filled the skies, and the seas were populated by marine reptiles such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and others. <p/>In this beautiful full-color illustrated book, you will learn about: <ul><li>The paleogeography of the Triassic - how the continents were joined in one gigantic supercontinent<li>The climate of the Triassic<li>The flora of the Triassic<li>Marine life of the Triassic including plankton, marine invertebrates, fish and marine reptiles such ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and placodonts<li>Terrestrial life of the Triassic including insects, spiders, lungfish, amphibians, parareptiles, therapsids (mammal-like reptiles), lepidosaurs, archosaurs and dinosaurs<li>Dinosaurs of the Triassic including the split between lizard-hipped (Saurischia) and bird-hipped (Ornithischia) dinosaurs<li>The first theropod dinosaurs (the group which would eventually give rise to <i>Tyrannosaurus rex</i>, <i>Allosaurus</i>, <i>Velociraptor</i> and birds)<li>The first sauropodomorph dinosaurs (the group which would eventually rise to <i>Apatosaurus</i>, <i>Brachiosaurus</i> and <i>Diplodocus</i>)<li>The first ornithischian dinosaurs (the group which would eventually give rise to <i>Iguanodon</i>, <i>Triceratops</i>, duckbilled dinosaurs and other famous herbivores)<li>The Triassic coal gap<li>Extinction events of the Triassic<li>And much more</ul><br>Table of Contents: <p/><b>Introduction</b> <p/><b>Chapter 1: Before the Triassic Period</b><br>The Formation of the Solar System and the Earth<br>The Hadean Eon<br>The Archaean Eon<br>The Proterozoic Eon<br>The Phanerozoic Eon<br>- The Paleozoic Era<br>- The End of the Paleozoic Era <p/><b>Chapter 2: Introducing the Triassic Period</b><br>Subdivisions (Epochs) of the Triassic Period<br>- Early Triassic Epoch<br>- Middle Triassic Epoch<br>- Late Triassic Epoch <p/><b>Chapter 3: Paleogeography of the Triassic Period</b> <p/><b>Chapter 4: Climate of the Triassic Period</b> <p/><b>Chapter 5: Flora of the Triassic Period</b> <p/><b>Chapter 6: Marine Fauna of the Triassic Period</b><br>Plankton<br>Marine Invertebrates<br>Fish<br>Sauropterygian Reptiles<br>- Pachypleurosaurs<br>- Nothosaurs<br>- Placodonts<br>- Pistosaurs, Plesiosaurs and Pliosaurs<br>Turtles<br>Ichthyosaurs<br>Hupehsuchia<br>Thalattosaurs <p/><b>Chapter 7: Terrestrial and Freshwater Fauna of the Triassic Period</b><br>Insects<br>Spiders<br>Lungfish<br>Amphibians<br>Parareptiles<br>Lepidosauromorpha<br>Therapsids<br>- Dicynodonts<br>- Therocephalians<br>- Cynodonts<br>Archosaurs and Archosauromorpha<br>- Protorosaurs<br>- Pterosaurs<br>- Rhynchosaurs<br>- Allokotosaurs<br>- Phytosaurs<br>- Proterosuchids and Erythrosuchids<br>- Aetosaurs<br>- Revueltosaurus<br>- Poposauroids<br>- Ornithosuchids<br>- Rauisuchoids<br>- Crocodylomorpha<br>- Dinosaurs and Dinosauromorpha <p/><b>Chapter 8: Dinosaurs and Dinosauromorpha</b><br>Saurischia and Ornithischia<br>Early Saurischian Dinosaurs<br>- The First Theropods<br>- Sauropodomorpha<br>Early Ornithischian Dinosaurs <p/><b>Chapter 9: Triassic Coal Gap</b> <p/><b>Chapter 10: Extinction Events of the Triassic Period</b><br>Permian-Triassic Extinction Event<br>Smith-Spathian Extinction Event<br>Carnian Pluvial Event<br>Triassic-Jurassic Extinction Event <p/><b>Chapter 11: After the Triassic</b><br>The Jurassic Period<br>The Cretaceous Period<br>The Cenozoic Era
