The Late Triassic is a pivotal time in the evolution of life on land, with many of the major groups of present-day vertebrates and insects first appearing in the ... Read more

Reviews for Triassic Life on Land: The Great Transition
A very useful resource. Smithsonian Magazine Accomplished paleobiologists Sues and Fraser have compiled a well-organized, beautifully illustrated volume on the current state of paleobiological investigations into Triassic terrestrial life.
