Triassic Revolution

The Triassic has long been recognized as a time during which marine and terrestrial ecosystems modernized dramatically, it seems to have two-step process. First, recovery from the Permian-Triassic mass extinction (PTME) was of extraordinary renewal novelty, these processes change were enhanced, seems, by effects Carnian Pluvial Episode (CPE). After CPE, in oceans, not only did carbonate factory begin towards its modern form, but also arguably Mesozoic Marine Revolution (MMR) speeded up. When MMR proposed seen process that occurred Late Jurassic Cretaceous, crustaceans, gastropods, fishes enhanced predator-prey arms races. New evidence China elsewhere suggests fact already underway Middle Triassic, so coincident with Sepkoski’s classic idea Paleozoic faunas replaced Modern beginning Triassic. On land, ongoing competition between synapsids archosauromorphs through marked posture shift sprawling erect, physiology warm-bloodedness, insulating skin coverings hair feathers. Dinosaurs, for example, originated Early or diversify until after CPE. These races, sea, endothermy tetrapods, triggered PTME, then
