    #1 - How the Triassic-Jurassic Mass Extinction Gave Rise to the Dinosaurs

    Welcome back everyone to the Great Dyings, a five-part video series on the five mass extinctions.

Today, we will explore the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction, which ended the Triassic on the Triassic-Jurassic border. While it is a relatively unknown extinction, the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction is incredibly significant since it paved the way for the age of the dinosaurs.
