Description: | During the Triassic period, parts of Southern Europe were covered by a sea, while in Northern Europe, the climate was hot and dry. Not many fossils are found in Triassic rocks from Northern Europe, because the harsh, dry climate was similar to a modern desert, where many plants and animals would struggle to survive and indeed where fossils are unlikely to form. More animals, like these bivalves, lived in the sea at that time. | 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 |
