What Was Earth Like Before the Dinosaurs?

Let's get personal on Whatsapp: whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va8V...
Millions of years ago, Earth looked very different. All the continents were fused into one, teeming with life that was both beautiful and terrifying. When you think of prehistoric times, you might picture a T. rex rampaging through the jungle with its razor-sharp teeth. But even before the dinosaurs, there were other giant creatures ruling the Earth.

"I'm still trying to understand the Dinosaur period." Then my next words should blow your mind... Think about all of the creatures that are alive right now, this very second. Millions of different kinds of separate lifeforms. And that's just in one second, our current era. Now think about how long the dinosaurs were around: millions of years. I've heard some say 160M years, others say 180M years. We've only discovered the fossilized remains of a thousand or so dinosaurs. Considering how long the dinos were here on Earth, do you really think there were just a thousand of them? Especially taking into consideration the diversity we have today, surely there was that kind of diversity back then, too. After all, Nature had all of the same kind of niches to fill as She does today. And over the course of 180M years, there must have been billions of different kinds of dinosaurs in all that time! I know it blew my mind when it occurred to me. 🤔 😲 😱

We'll never know what it was truly like back then. Science only gives us somewhat of an idea of what Earth was like back then. What you have to keep in mind is that there had to have been millions of species back then that we haven't discovered and never will discover. If we knew of everything that existed back then, videos and documentaries about those pre-human times would be so very drastically different. And just think, we haven't even discovered all the species that are around today! We're still discovering new species all the time. There are even places on Earth that have either been barely explored, or not explored at all. We also have yet to reach the very bottom of the deepest part of the ocean. It's funny how smart and advanced that most people think we are. In the grand scheme of things, we're still extremely primitive. This planet is like a tiny fraction of a single grain of sand on the beach, and each of us nearly 8 billion humans individually? We're of no significance at all really, and our live spans are laughably tiny. If you really stop to think about all of that, you'll probably find it hilarious next time you come across a millionaire who thinks he's superior to everyone else. I don't mean this to be depressing by the way, even though it reads that way. The point is to be humble. What most people think is important in life, much of it really isn't at all. Be a good person, be good to the planet so we can remain here for as long as possible, and do good for other people whenever you get the chance.

The latest theory about the Permian-Triassic extinction is due to an ice age. This coincided with the great dying. This ice age of course could be the result of dust blocking out the sun. In regards to carbon dioxide, its effect decreases a lot above 400ppm. Water vapor is 95% of the greenhouse gasses and basically controls the greenhouse effect.| During an ice age CO2 drops dramatically due to oceans absorbing CO2 as they cool (and releasing it when they warm). If CO2 falls below 200ppm plants begin to go extinct. So when the sun is blocked it is not just the sun plants are missing but also the CO2 which they need to survive as much as we need oxygen to survive. Cold is the greatest treat to life. Only very specialized animals can survive in cold areas. There weren't much furry animals at the time so most animals were unsuitable to live in a colder climate.

[@klaus120]

Ice age? Never seen anything about a permian-triassic glaciation. The most recent papers always say that the great dying was caused by the formation of Pangea, and then the triassic-jurassic extinction due to its separation.

​@@klaus120My dude, the Permian period started around the same time Pangea formed (~300 mya), and only lasted about 50 million years. The End-Permian extinction happened in roughly the middle of the Pangea epoch (~250 mya) and Pangea broke up around 200 million years ago. The consensus on the cause of the End-Permian extinction was massive basalt floods, which flooded the atmosphere with CO× and acidified Panthallassia.

All this creatures of beauty lived so long ago, yet unearthed centuries later I still recognise them as Earth life forms. Even the strangest like octopus is easily recognised as an earth life form. So what is truly an alien life..? It's most likely something so unrecognisable, and strange.

[@jm4100]

Entertaining however incorrect on some science - Dimetrodon is a non-mammalian synapsid, often incorrectly called "mammal-like reptiles", but they are NOT reptiles despite their reptile-like appearance & are more closely related to basal mammals thus are now known as stem mammals in paleontology. Also The Therapsids were not reptiles, the group included the Cynodonts, this group is another clade along with Synapsids under the phylum Cordata, thus also leading to different Basal mammalian classes.

[@futureisyours3016]

I thought the oxygen content was higher back then? Giant insects cannot survive without higher oxygen content. FYI, earth atmosphere/room air is 21% oxygen nowadays.

[@spacebones9709]

Me too, more oxygen = bigger insects, right? I've always wondered could we make insects bigger in a lab by just increasing the oxygen in their habitat or would it require genetic engineering as well? Imagine the silk we could get from giant spiders.. Oh, and the nightmares, don't forget the nightmares.

@Space Bones I thought the same thing. I'm a Respiratory Therapist so I think about oxygen alot....lol
