The supercontinent Pangäa began to break up, creating the North Atlantic, the Dolimites and the Himalayan Mountains.
Mineralogy
At this time, the first ancestors of flowering plants developed. The climatic differences between the north and the south created different plant worlds. This led to the development of the first dry plants in the desert regions. At the same time, the first bare-seeded plants (conifers) became established. Animals of the Tethys advance to the west and the first water shield crustaceans and dinosaurs develop further.
