Question
Chapter 22.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To predict: Whether the geographical distribution of fossils of early dinosaurs originated 200-250 million years ago would be broad or narrow.
Concept introduction:
Dinosaurs originated when there was a single large landmass in the Earth, called Pangea.

A number of scientists believe that the Permian extinction was caused by huge volcanic lava flows (from the Siberian traps) that may have caused low oxygen concentrations compared to the high oxygen levels in the Permian. Does this low oxygen level after the Permian extinction make it likely that dinosaurs, especially large ones, did not evolve immediately after the Permian extinction (252 million years ago)? Why or why not?
WHAT IF? Fossils show that dinosaurs originated200–250 million years ago. Would you expect the geographic distribution of early dinosaur fossils to be broad(on many continents) or narrow (on one or a few continents only)? Explain.
