The early Mesozoic period was a critical period in the evolution of
life on land when most of today's major groups of terrestrial
vertebrates arose and dinosaurs and pterosaurs rose to prominence.
In recent years this period has received a great deal of attention
from palaeontologists, and it is now felt that the small
vertebrates which lived in the shadows of the first dinosaurs tell
us a great deal about the evolution of modern terrestrial
ecosystems. This book attempts to collate all the information on
the small vertebrates and features contributions by experts with
international reputations in their fields. There are chapters on
the taxonomy and phylogeny of the key vertebrate groups, followed
by a section dealing with the most significant fossiliferous
assemblages worldwide. The final section looks at how faunal
turnover at this time is measured and examines the possibility of
mass extinctions.
