Description: | During the Triassic period, Northern Europe had a hot, dry climate. Fossils are not particularly common in Triassic rocks, because the environment was harsh and dry, and fossils are usually only formed where there is water, such as lakes, rivers or the sea. In Southern Europe, fossils of animals that lived in the sea at that time are more common. Fossils of ammonites, like this one, lived in a Triassic sea in Southern Europe. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
