<< the Triassic-Jurassic Boundary Mass Extinction >>

There was no Triassic-Jurassic Boundary mass extinction, the event took place 
between the Norian and Rhietian stages of the late Triassic. Why the Jurassic 
begins with the Lias instead of the Rhietian an interesting question that I 
don't know the answer to.
