Triassic Period A long time ago, in the Triassic Period there mainly weren’t many dinosaurs, but there were a lot of living things. The whole world was squashed into a huge landmass, supercontinent called Pangaea. There were other scaled animals on Earth, such as amphibians and reptile and plants such as 20% were cycads and conifers. In the seas many fishes and ammonites in the seas. At that time the pterosaurs appeared during the Late Triassic after time. Then there were dinosaurs such as Eudimorphodon, Eoraptor, Ischigualastia, Coelophysis, Plateosaurus and there were giant dragonflies and plants called Neoclamites. ammonites

Jurassic Period In the Jurassic Period, Pangaea split into 2 huge land masses, the one in the north is called Laurasia and the southern one was called Gondwanaland. Now everything was much different with new plant and some dinosaurs seemed to have evolved over time. Such dinosaurs were Stegosaurus, Marshosaurus, Apatosaurus, and Pterosaurs. Paleontologists have reason to believe that Herrasaurus evolved into Allosaurus and Diplodocus. It was really, hot and subtropical.
