The Elements of Geology The Jurassic strata are wanting over the Triassic areas and over all of eastern North America. The Elements of Geology Other more extensive areas where Triassic rocks appear at the surface, are found west of the Mississippi, on the slopes of the Rocky Mountains, where the beds consist of sandstones and gypsiferous Page 206 marls. The Ancient Life History of the Earth A Comprehensive Outline of the Principles and Leading Facts of Palæontological Science The top of this fissure must have communicated with the bed of the Triassic sea, and probably at a point not far from the ancient shore on which the small marsupials of that era abounded. The Student's Elements of Geology By the end of the Triassic—a period of at least two million years—the sea had reconquered a vast proportion of the territory wrested from it in the Permian revolution. The Story of Evolution Triassic strata infolded in the Sierra Nevada Mountains carry marine fossils and reach a thickness of nearly five thousand feet. The Elements of Geology The area of the later Triassic rocks of this region, which take up again the geological record, is seen in the map of Figure 260. The Elements of Geology From the foregoing it will be gathered that one of the most important points in connection with the Triassic Mollusca is the remarkable intermixture of Palæozoic and Mesozoic types which they exhibit. The Ancient Life History of the Earth A Comprehensive Outline of the Principles and Leading Facts of Palæontological Science The third column marks the first appearance in Triassic rocks of genera destined to become more abundant in later ages. The Student's Elements of Geology This summary account of the levelling process which went on during the Triassic and Jurassic will prepare us to expect a return of warm climate and luxurious life, and this the record abundantly evinces. The Story of Evolution In Triassic times the British Isles were part of a desert extending over much of northwestern Europe. The Elements of Geology The present condition of the Triassic sandstones of the Connecticut valley is seen in Figure 315. The Elements of Geology The plants of the Jurassic period consist principally of Ferns, Cycads, and Conifers—agreeing in this respect, Page 230 therefore, with those of the preceding Triassic formation. The Ancient Life History of the Earth A Comprehensive Outline of the Principles and Leading Facts of Palæontological Science Remains of the same genus have been found both in Central India and Southern Africa in rocks believed to be of Triassic age. The Student's Elements of Geology At the close of the Triassic and during the Jurassic they seem to undergo profound and comparatively rapid changes. The Story of Evolution They rest unconformably on the Triassic sandstones and the older rocks of the region. The Elements of Geology Do the Triassic areas now stand higher or lower than the surrounding country, and why? The Elements of Geology The archaic Orthoceras lingers on into the Triassic and becomes extinct, but a remarkable development is now at hand for the more highly organized descendants of this ancient line. The Elements of Geology Thus, for example, the Ammonite, which is not common to older rocks, is represented by no less than seventy-three species; whereas Loxonema, which is only known as common to older rocks, furnishes fifteen Triassic species. The Student's Elements of Geology The increase of the waters had at first favoured them, and we find more than twenty genera, and some very large individuals, of the amphibia in the Triassic. The Story of Evolution The amphibians culminated in the Triassic, some being formidable creatures as large as alligators. The Elements of Geology In the Triassic and Jurassic, little progress was made among the fishes, and the ganoid was still the leading type. The Elements of Geology The great order of Reptiles made its advent in the Permian, culminated in the Triassic and Jurassic, and began to decline in the Cretaceous. The Elements of Geology In the same memoir proofs are afforded of there having been two periods of vertical movement in the same fault— one, for example, before, and another after, the Triassic epoch. The Student's Elements of Geology New Zealand seems to have been cut off from the southern continent at the close of the Permian or beginning of the Triassic, and so preserved for us that very interesting relic of Permian life. The Story of Evolution These sea monsters disported along the Pacific shore over northern California in Triassic times, and the bones of immense members of the family occur in the Jurassic strata of Wyoming. The Elements of Geology These Triassic rocks, which are chiefly sandstones, hold no marine fossils, and hence were not laid in open arms of the sea. The Elements of Geology A rival to the Ammonite appeared in the Triassic seas, a formidable forerunner of the cuttle-fish type of Cephalopod. The Story of Evolution But as the cold of the Permian yielded to a genial climate and rich vegetation in the course of the Triassic, the reptiles entered upon their memorable development. The Story of Evolution It is clear that one of the smaller reptiles—the Archaeopteryx is between a pigeon and a crow in size—of the Triassic period was the ancestor of the birds. The Story of Evolution The Crocodilians also appear in the later Triassic, abound in the Jurassic, and give way before the later types, the true Crocodiles, in the Cretaceous. The Story of Evolution The Triassic sandstones are voluminous, measuring at least a mile in thickness, and are largely of coarse waste. The Elements of Geology Both existed in the Jurassic, and the mammals at least had many representatives in the Triassic. The Story of Evolution The bird was probably evolved in the late Triassic or early Jurassic. The Story of Evolution They not only abound throughout the Jurassic, in which they are distributed in more than thirty genera, but they may be traced into the Triassic itself. The Story of Evolution There is nothing "puzzling" about the Mesozoic reptilian development; the depression of the land, the moist warmth, and the luscious vegetation of the later Triassic and the Jurassic amply explain it.
