Resumen:
The Late Triassic World (~237?201.3 Ma) was the scenarioof critical changes in Earth history. The supercontinentPangea, with a unique paleogeographic configuration, wasformed by a gigantic landmass with a nearly pole-to-polearrangement. This paleogeographic configuration combinedwith a hothouse global climate producing a strong seasonalityregime. During Late Triassic, the large igneous province(LIP) eruptions caused greenhouse gasses and increasedatmospheric CO2, sea surface temperature, euxinic oceans,among other effects. Dizzying changes occurred, such asthe origin and diversification of many modern clades, bothin the ocean and land, including calcareous nannoplankton,scleractinian corals, neopterygian fishes, lissamphibians,lepidosaurs, turtles, dinosaurs, and mammaliaforms. Therefore,the Late Triassic is essential in order to understand theevolution of Mesozoic ecosystems.
