Jurassic Period
After a large extinction took place at the end of the Triassic Period, a new period
started, which is now commonly known as the Jurassic Period (scienceviews.com). The Jurassic
Period was named after the strata found in the Jura Mountains which sit on the border
between France and Switzerland (encyclopedia.com). The Jurassic Period is separated into
three subdivisions known as: Early Jurassic, Middle Jurassic, and Late Jurassic
