For paleontologists, however, it also marks the rise of the world's first modern land ecosystems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the past three decades, extensive, worldwide fieldwork has led to the discovery of many new species of Triassic animals and plants, suggesting that faunal and floral changes already began in the Middle Triassic and were more protracted than previously thought. The Late Triassic is a pivotal time in the evolution of life on land, with many of the major groups of present-day vertebrates and insects first appearing in the fossil record. This book provides the first detailed overview of life on land during the Triassic period for advanced students and researchers. Noted vertebrate paleontologists Hans-Dieter Sues and Nicholas C. Fraser also review the biotic changes of this period and their possible causes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans-Dieter Sues, Nicholas Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 023113522X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231135221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010","brand":"Hans-Dieter Sues","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44254713839871,"sku":"9780231135221","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37068a6d-00f4-4aab-84b6-6200b1f954eb.jpg?v=1694613947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/triassic-life-on-land-hans-dieter-sues-9780231135221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
