Jurassic Period

The Stegosaurus, recognisable for its distinct double row of large, kite-shaped plates along its back plates and spiked tail, roamed the Earth as a herbivorous dinosaur in the Late Jurassic period, around 155-150 million years ago. 

This pterosaur, named Ceoptera, lived approximately 168-166 million years ago during the Middle Jurassic period.

In a warm and humid Jurassic Period landscape lush with plant and animal life in what is now southwest Montana, an adolescent long-necked dinosaur was miserably sick with flu and pneumonia-like symptoms.

About 183 million years ago during the early part of the Jurassic Period, enormous amounts of lava flowed across the landscape in what is now South Africa, transforming the environment into a land of fire.

Two dinosaur skeletons marketed as hip design objects -- one of a diplodocus, the other of an allosaurus -- sold for more than 1.4 million euros ($1.7 million) apiece at auction in Paris on Wednesday. The two dinosaurs roamed the Earth during the late Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago.

Paleontologists searching far and wide in Tunisia made a discovery of massive proportions: the world's largest sea-dwelling crocodile, previously unknown to science.

A large-scale volcanic event during the Jurassic Period may have caused the 'ice-age' that took place on Earth around 170 million years ago, a new study has found.

Scientists have discovered a new species of 'horned' plant-eating dinosaur in China, suggesting the Jurassic period may have had more species diversity than previously thought.

You might call the Jurassic Period meat-eating dinosaur Allosaurus the ultimate big mouth.

Last September, when five-year-old Wylie Brys set out on a leisurely expedition with his dad to find fish vertebrae, little did he know that he'll discover a 100 million-year-old dinosaur fossil.

19th century fossil collector Mary Anning, from Britain, helped revolutionise the field of palaeontology.
