The Triassic is one of the most important periods in the evolution of life on Earth. After one of the greatest mass extinctions 252 million years ago, not only the dinosaurs but also many other groups of terrestrial tetrapods emerged and conquered numerous habitats. Since the early 19th century, the Central European Basin has been a historically important region for the study of the Triassic, and continues to yield a wealth of new spectacular finds. Rock strata and fossils from this period are particularly well preserved in south-west Germany.
