The Triassic Period: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Welcome to the Triassic Period, the beginning of the dinosaurs’ exciting journey on Earth!
This era, from about 252 to 201 million years ago, was a time of great change and new beginnings.
It followed a huge mass extinction, and life began to bounce back in fascinating ways.
Early dinosaurs like the small, speedy Coelophysis and the long-necked Plateosaurus started to appear.
The landscape was filled with low-growing ferns and lush forests, and the first mammals were making their debut.
Imagine a world where early dinosaurs are just starting to explore their new home, setting the stage for the incredible adventures that would follow.
The Triassic Period was truly the dawn of a brand-new chapter in Earth’s amazing story!
