The Coming of Life
The Jurassic Period
The name comes from
the Jura Mountains where the
first fossils of this period were found.
This period marked the beginning of the
flying reptiles. Among these was the one with
feathered wings, the Archaeopteryx, from
which birds are believed to have descended.
Some reptiles returned to the water
including who took the form of fish.
During this period the first mammal appeared.
He still laid eggs but gave milk to his young.
This was the duck billed platypus.
Whenever a new species appears
it is at first very small. Each new species
bring with it an increase of intelligence.
An improved nervous system brings this about.
We have the beginning of
flowering plants. The new plants
were the conifers, pines, and fir trees.
