New findings may have solved the debate around why scientists have never found the missing link between dinosaurs and ...

Ever since the first fragments of pterosaur bone surfaced nearly 250 years ago , palaeontologists have puzzled over one question: how did these close ...

It is during the early part of the Triassic that the conifers took off. With flowering plants and grasses yet to evolve, conifers formed vast forests with individual trees reaching up to 30 metres ...

The paleontology exhibit spans millions of years, from the Pleistocene Epoch, also known as the Ice Age that ended 11,700 years ago, to the late Triassic Period around 245 million years ago.

The Permian-Triassic mass extinction was caused by volcanic eruptions in what is now the Siberian Traps, releasing 100,000 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere over a million ...

You know those days where it feels like it just hasn’t stopped raining? Yeah, that’s got nothing on the Carnian pluvial event, otherwise known as the 1 to 2 million-year stretch of Earth’s ...

But in their prime, the Triassic’s marine reptiles matched any sea creature alive today, the great whales included. Shonisaurus sikanniensis, a late-Triassic ichthyosaur, for example, is ...

Procolophonids were most diverse in the Early and Middle Triassic, recovering well after the Permian mass extinction. Over time, they began losing teeth and developing simpler, specialized diets.

Findings of the study, published in the journal Papers in Palaeontology, indicate that the discovery sheds light into the Carnian-Norian age of the Late Triassic, roughly 220–210 million years ago.
