The Triassic was a period in Earth's history. The first period of the Mesozoic and the seventh period of the Phanerozoic, this period marked the beginning of the dinosaur dynasty, along with the first pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, pliosaurs, ichthyosaurs, turtles, lizards, snakes, rhynchocephalians, crocodylomorphs and mammals. As the reptiles spread across the land, they also made their way into the seas and the skies.
