Jurassic Period

Several times in the distant past, catastrophic extinctions have swept the Earth, causing more than half of all species -from single-celled organisms to awe-inspiring behemoths -to suddenly vanish and be replaced by new life forms. Today the rich diversity of life on the Earth is again in grave danger -and the cause is not a sudden cataclysmic event but rather humankinds devastation of the environment. Is life on our planet teetering on the brink of another mass extinction? In this absorbing new book, acclaimed paleontologist Peter D. Ward answers this daunting question with a resounding yes. Elaborating on and updating Wards previous work, "The End of Evolution," "Rivers in Time" delves into his newest discoveries. The book presents the gripping tale of the authors investigations into the history of life and death on Earth through a series of expeditions that have brought him ever closer to the truth about mass extinctions, past and future. First describing the three previous mass extinctions -those marking the transition from the Permian to the Triassic periods 245 million years ago, the Triassic to the Jurassic 200 million years ago, and the Cretaceous to the Tertiary 65 million years ago -Ward assesses the present devastation in which countless species are coming to the end of their evolution at the hand of that wandering, potentially destructive force called "Homo sapiens." The book takes readers to the Philippine Sea, now eerily empty of life, where only a few decades of catching fish by using dynamite have resulted in eviscerated coral reefs -and a dramatic reduction in the marine life the region can support. Ward travels to Canadas Queen Charlotte Islands to investigatethe extinctions that mark the boundary between the Triassic and Jurassic periods.

Jurassic - The Jurassic period is a major unit of the geologic timescale that extends from about 200 Ma (million years ago) at the end of the Triassic to 146 Ma at the beginning of the Cretaceous. As with other geologic periods, the rock beds that define the start and end of the period are well identified, but the exact dates are uncertain by 5 - 10 million years.

Early Jurassic - Lower Jurassic (also known as Lias) is the earliest of three epochs of the Jurassic period. There are extensive outcrops around the coast of the UK, in particular in Dorset, often associated with the pioneering work of Mary Anning of Lyme Regis.

Middle Jurassic - The Middle Jurassic, called the Dogger in the European system of classification, is the second epoch of the Jurassic period. It lasted from 180-154 million years ago.

Late Jurassic - Upper Jurassic (also known as Malm) was an epoch of the Jurassic geologic period. It lasted from 146 Ma to 135 Ma (million years ago).
