An ecological catastrophe 201 million years ago supposedly paved the way for the rise of giant dinosaurs, but it may not have happened that way after all

The Jurassic is perhaps the most famous period in geologic history. It is the "Age of Dinosaurs," which has sparked the interest and imaginations of paleontologists, geologists and children alike. The Earth during the Jurassic period became a hospitable place for a wide diversity of plants and animals, and tropical to sub-tropical conditions were the norm over much of the planet's dry land.
