230 million years ago · Ischigualasto (Valley of the Moon)DAWN2:41Start here230 million years ago, the Valley of the Moon was a green valley full of rivers. Some of the first dinosaurs lived there: few, and many of them small, like Eoraptor, in a world ruled by Saurosuchus, a crocodile relative up to seven metres long. Herrerasaurus, the most common hunter in the valley, has just made a kill.

210-201 million years ago · Ghost Ranch (New Mexico)FIRE2:56210 million years ago, Ghost Ranch (New Mexico) was a river near the equator. Coelophysis hunted there, three metres long and with hollow bones, alongside Effigia, a crocodile relative that walked on two legs and had a beak. 201 million years ago, the heart of Pangaea split open in fissures of lava and three in four species vanished. The dinosaurs survived.
