世界の様子 Environment |
The atmosphere went from very high oxygen content (30%) to very low (10%)
during the Permian, and Early Triassic was still in the low oxygen environment.
生物 Life |
The dinosaurs appeared in the Middle Triassic of South America,
三畳紀中期には恐竜が南米大陸で現れ、単弓類などの衰退で空白になったニッチを
埋めるように繁栄していった。
and flourished to occupy the vacant niche after declination of synapsids.
三畳紀末の大量絶滅・TJ事変 Late Triassic extinction event - Triassic–Jurassic extinction event |
The extinction event occurred 212 million years ago.
It is said that 76% of all species wiped out in this extinction,
especially died out large animals such as the ammonites, reptiles, and synapsids.
This extinction allowed the dinosaurs, presumably small at that time, to spread rapidly.
"The Manicouagan Crater" with its 100 km diameter is in Canada.
The causal huge meteorite fell there at the time.
There is also evidence that the lava flowed like a flood around the present central Atlantic.
As there was no Atlantic at that time,
this is the boundary separating north and south of Pangaea of the time.
Huge volcanic activity here may occurred as Pangaea began to break apart.
