If you have watched the 'Jurassic Park' movie and want to know more, you're in the right place.
However, there were some parts of the movies that didn't really reflect the truth. For example, the Tyrannosaurus rex did not appear at this time!
The Jurassic period was truly one of the most fascinating periods in the geological history of Earth and is known through the many fossils that have turned up in archeological surveys through all these years. The period is known for its many dinosaurs and other reptiles that ruled the land. Furthermore, it was during the Jurassic period that the Earth began to look the way it does in the present day. Earth used to have a single chunk of land known as the Pangea. At this time, Pangea started to divide into two masses of land which would further divide and give rise to the continents that we see today. The Jurassic period was therefore very crucial. The factors that led to scientists being exceptionally interested in the Jurassic period also include the fact that some of the animals and reptiles that lived on Earth during this period can be identified as the ancestors of mammals, birds, and reptiles that roam the Earth in the present day and age.
The Jurassic period is therefore an essential part of the Mesozoic era. It was succeeded by the Cretaceous period and preceded by the Triassic period. Of these geological periods, the Jurassic period was the second-longest and continued over the span of several million years! If you have watched the movie 'Jurassic Park,' you probably are aware of the fearsome reptiles that roamed the Earth at this time. Keep reading to know more facts about the Jurassic period!
The Jurassic period has been a matter of interest for many archeologists over the years, which is natural given the amount of light that this period of the Mesozoic era throws on the many mammals and reptiles that lived on Earth millions of years before we humans even came into being.
The Jurassic period, which is recognized as one with a lot of geological and evolutionary importance, is dated back to millions of years ago. If you ask us, we think it is pretty incredible that the human race's natural history has developed so much!
The Jurassic period, in addition to witnessing the domination of the many types of dinosaurs that existed at this time, is also known for the appearance of the early mammals on Earth!
