Resetting The Evolution Of Marine Reptiles At The Triassic Jurassic Boundary Pnas

Resetting The Evolution Of Marine Reptiles At The Triassic Jurassic Boundary Pnas Most of these marine reptile groups disappeared in the late triassic, and were replaced by ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and marine crocodilians as predators in jurassic seas. the triassic jurassic (tr j) transition is marked by a mass extinction that may have been a single event or may incorporate earlier pulses of extinction in the rhaetian (3.

Resetting The Evolution Of Marine Reptiles At The Triassic Jurassic Boundary Pnas Ichthyosaurs passed through an evolutionary bottleneck at, or close to, the triassic jurassic boundary, which reduced their diversity to as few as three or four lineages. diversity bounced back to some extent in the aftermath of the end triassic mass extinction, but disparity remained at less than one tenth of pre extinction levels, and never. The end triassic mass extinction had a previously unsuspected profound effect in resetting the evolution of apex marine predators of the mesozoic. keywords: ichthyopterygia, cladistics, phylogeny, morphometrics. marine reptiles arose in the early triassic, some 250 ma, and dominated mesozoic seas until their demise by the end of the cretaceous.
