Jurassic Period (aug 7, 205000000 BC – aug 7, 142000000 BC)

Description:

Life was quick to recover from the mass extinction that ended the Triassic, letting earth become host to the most diverse range of life forms the earth had ever seen. Animals included the first bird species and dinosaurs, who thrived in thr warm, humid climate. The sea rose due to continental break up, leading to the widening of the Atlantic ocean, and this new ocean floor is the oldest surviving ocean floor to ever exist, all others being recycled due to plate tectonics.
