    2024/11/24

    Zach, Spencer, and Sean introduce you to what the Triassic period looked like. We start off by discussing the great extinction even that led into the Triassic period and what came after. How did life on earth bounce back and what did the life look like? What did earth as a whole look like during this? What life forms began to appear and change the history of our world forever? These are all questions we take a dive into while cracking jokes and getting off topic as usual. This episode is the first part of a 2 episode series focusing on this time period.
