About the Triassic Period
The Triassic Period, occurring approximately 251 to 199 million years ago, marks the beginning of the Mesozoic Era. 🌏 During this time, the first dinosaurs and mammals started to appear, alongside a multitude of other life forms.
The climate was generally hot and dry, with the continents being part of the supercontinent Pangaea. It was a world very different from today! 🦕
