Triassic fossil sites

Life recovered slowly from the Permian extinction. The earliest dinosaurs, mammals, and modern coral groups all appeared in the Triassic. Marine fossil sites favor ammonites and the first ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs.

Fossils typical of this period: early dinosaurs, ichthyosaurs, ammonites, Tasmanian fossil cliffs at Maria Island, Triassic conodonts.
