- 1三疊紀（地質年代，約2.52億至2.01億年前，恐龍最早出現的時期）。順序：三疊紀→侏羅紀→白堊紀。
The Triassic is the slice of Earth's history from about 252 to 201 million years ago. It matters for two reasons. It begins right after the worst extinction the planet ever had — the end of the Permian, when most sea life died — so the Triassic is the long story of life recovering and filling the empty world again. And it is when the first dinosaurs appeared, along with the first and the first flying reptiles. But early Triassic dinosaurs were small and not yet in charge; they only became the giants of the picture books later, in the Jurassic. It ends with another extinction, which is what cleared the way for them.
At this time all the land was joined in one huge continent, , and the middle of it was hot dry desert.
Grammar: it is a proper noun, so always capital T, and it takes 'the' — the Triassic period, in the Triassic. As an adjective: Triassic rocks, Triassic fossils. The order of the three dinosaur ages is Triassic, then Jurassic, then .
組成From German Trias, 'a set of three' (from Greek τριάς, triás, 'triad'), + -ic. Coined in 1841 by the geologist Friedrich August von Alberti, who named it after three distinct layers of rock he found stacked in Germany. So the 'three' is about rock layers, not about anything living.
