Four chapters of Earth,
written in rock.

Stratigraphy is a library. Each layer holds a quieter century than the one above it.

  1. Triassic

    252 – 201 Ma

    Life rebuilds after collapse. The first dinosaurs take their place.

  2. Jurassic

    201 – 145 Ma

    Giants move through fern forests. Seas thicken with ammonites.

  3. Cretaceous

    145 – 66 Ma

    Flowering plants arrive. Tyrannosaurs rule the final Mesozoic stage.

  4. Cenozoic

    66 Ma – now

    Mammals rise. Ice and climate reshape continents we still walk.
