During the Triassic, the super-continent called Pangea experienced its maximum size. The continental plates, come together to form a single total landmass that stretches from pole to pole: Pangea. The rest of the globe was covered by the vast ocean Panthalassa (twice larger than the current Pacific). If the sea sometimes isolated parts of Pangea, the similarities in the world of fauna and flora show that living beings could move anywhere on its surface. The North and South arm had known periods of seasonal abundance, because it stop rain brought by the winds, depriving the heart of the continent precipitation and contributes to the formation of large deserts.
