The German scientist who names the era named it after the three distinctive colors of clay beds that form the "layers" of the period. "Tri" - three.

What are some Triassic period fossils?

Icthyosaurs and plesiosaurs are both known from Triassic strata. Crinoids were common then, but their history spans more than just the Triassic. Coelophysis appeared in the middle of the Triassic. Phytosaurs and aetosaurs did not survive past the end of the Triassic. Lystrosaurus was a Triassic dicynodont, about the size of a sheep, which has been found on every continent (including Antarctica). Podocarps and other gymnosperms (plants) survived beyond the Triassic period.
