The end-Triassic extinction along with the end-Permian and end-Cretaceous events are the most severe mass extinctions in the past 270 million years. The exact mechanisms of the end-Triassic extinction ...

The Triassic-Jurassic Extinction, 201.6 million years ago, has been considered by some to have been a fairly slow-burn event, driven by rising temperatures and ocean acidification. A new study ...

The End Triassic Extinction, which occurred about 201.6 million years ago, stamped out three-quarters of all life on Earth, and has long been thought to be linked to the volcanic eruption of the ...

Not only are they easy to care for, but they are a ‘living fossil’ that will make you feel like you’re walking in the footsteps of dinosaurs. Let us guide you on how to grow cycads in your very own ...
