Long before humans roamed the Earth, the planet was home to giants — towering dinosaurs, lush ferns, and primeval seas teeming with life. Welcome to the Jurassic Period, a chapter in Earth's history that spanned from around 201 to 145 million years ago.
The Jurassic world was dramatically different to ours. The supercontinent Pangaea had begun to split, creating shallow seas and new coastlines — perfect habitats for marine reptiles, flying pterosaurs, and colossal plant-eating dinosaurs like Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus.
Geographically, many of today's continents were just beginning to take shape. Fossils found across Europe, North America, and Asia reveal how widespread and diverse life was during this age. Places like the Jurassic Coast in southern England offer a glimpse into this lost world — with dramatic cliffs revealing layers of Earth's prehistoric past.
The Jurassic wasn’t just the age of dinosaurs — it was a time of tectonic movement, evolving ecosystems, and a planet on the move.
Step back in time and explore the ancient Earth — one fossil at a time.
