**FYI: INFO 4 YOU BEFORE THE TRIP!!**



> THE DATE OF THE TRIP WILL BE ON DECEMBER, 23/24 2011 > THE CLIMATE IS VERY HOT ( THE CLIMATE WAS DESERT LIKE ) ,SO DRESS AS IF YOU WERE GO TO AFRICA OR SOMEWHERE VERY HOT! > > > REMEMBER THE EARTH LOOKED EXTREMELY DIFFERENT THAN IT DOES TODAY. > WHAT DO WE MEAN: THE EARTH WAS NOT SPLIT 7 CONTINENTS PIECES OF LAND LIKE IT IS TODAY; IN FACT IT WAS ONE LARGE PIECE OF LAND CALLED PANGAEA. LATER ON IN THE LATE-TRIASSIC PERIOD PANGEA BEGAN TO SPLIT UP INTO TWO PARTS LATER NAMED LAURASIA AND GONDWANALAND DUE TO CONTINENTAL DRIFT. > FYI: LAURASIA WAS KNOWN AS THE CONTINENTS WE KNOW TODAY AS NORTH AMERICA, ASIA AND EUROPE. GONDWANALAND WAS THE CONTINENTS WE KNOW TODAY AS SOUTH AMERICA, ANTARCTICA, AUSTRALIA AND AFRICA. > > **"** || > THE TRIASSIC PERIOD WAS NOT SEPARATED INTO 4 DIFFERENT OCEANS LIKE TODAY ; IT WAS ACTUALLY 3 OCEANS NAMED THE PANTHALASSIC OCEAN, THE PALEO-TEYTHS OCEANS AND THE TEYTHS OCEAN!!!
 * At the end of the Triassic, Pangea began to rift apart. >

ALTHOUGH THE ANIMALS IN THE TRIASSIC PERIOD WERE NOT AS BIG AS A T-REX THERE WERE INDEED DINODAURS DURING THE TRIASSIC PEROID. THE DINOSAURS WERE AN AVERAGED 6 FEET TALL .THEY WERE NOT AS SCARY AND FIERCE AS THE DINOSAUR WE KNOW AND LOVED. SUCH AS KNOWN DINOAUR FROM THE TRIASSIC PERIOD NAMED TAWA .TAWA WAS THE NAME OF ONE OF THE MANY DINOSAURS LIVING IN THE TRIASSIC TIMES .TAWA LIVED IN GONDWANALAND ( KNOWN TODAY AS SOUTH AMERICA). IT WAS ABOUT 6 AND A HALF FEET TALL.THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER INOS SOARING THROUGH THE AIR CALLED THE PTEROSAURS.THE WORD PTEROSAUR MEANS " FLYING LIZARD", THEY WERE RELATED TO THE DINOSAURS BUT NOT CLASSIFIED AS DINOSAURS.



OTHER ANIMALS ALSO LIVED IN THE TRIASSIC PERIOD SUCH AS THE FIRST MAMMAL- LIKE REPTILES. INCLUDING: THE FIRST CROCODILES, FROGS, AN OTHER ANIMALS OF THAT SORT.

THERE WERE ALSO A NUMBER OF TYPES OF PLANTS GROWING AT THE TIME BUT THERE WASNT ALOT FOR THE DINOS TO NOURISH ON( THIS IS WHAT WAS ONE OF THE CAUSES TO THE PERMAIN EXTINCTION THAT KILLED OFF MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF ANIMALS).THE TYPES OF PLANTS WERE KINS LIKE FERNS, GINKGO - LIKE PLANTS, AND CYCADS AS WELL. * THE REASON WHY HUGE DINOSAURS LIKE A T-REX COULDN'T LIVE IN THE TRIASSIC PERIOD IS BECAUSE THERE SIMPLY WAS NOT ENOUGH NOURISHMENT TO SUPPORT SOMETHING SO BIG IN SIZE!

ONE LAST LOOK BEFORE WE GO!!
