What time period is Jurassic Park?

Jurassic Park was set in modern times and not a geological period...however the dinosaurs were from the Jurassic Period.


What is Jurassic Park about?

It refers to the Jurassic period. The time in which the dinosaurs lived is called the "Mesozoic Era." The Mesozoic Era is comprised of three main periods, or ages: the Triassic period (approximately 248 to 206 million years ago), the Jurassic period (approximately 206 to 144 million years ago), and the Cretaceous period (approximately 144 to 99 million years ago). See the Related Link for more information.Note that not all the dinosaurs depicted in Jurassic Parklived in the Jurassic period. Many were extinct by then, or, conversely, had not come into existence yet. The movie was called Jurassic Park simply because "Jurassic Park" has a nice ring to it, while "Triassic Park" and "Cretaceous Park" just don't sound as good to the ear. Also, the Jurassic period was the middle period -- the height of the age of the dinosaurs.This inaccurate naming was probably a reference to how little John Hammond- the park's in-universe creator- knew about the situation at hand.


Is there a real park called Jurassic Park?

Where did Jurassic get its name?

The name "Jurassic" comes from the Jura Mountains, which are located along the border between France and Switzerland. This geological period, spanning from about 201 to 145 million years ago, was named in the early 19th century by geologists who studied the rock formations in that region. The Jurassic period is known for its diverse dinosaur populations and significant geological developments.


What was the Jurassic known for?

The Jurassic period, which lasted from about 201 to 145 million years ago, is renowned for the dominance of dinosaurs, including iconic species like Brachiosaurus and Stegosaurus. It marked a significant increase in biodiversity, with the first appearance of large herbivores and carnivores. Additionally, the Jurassic saw the development of lush vegetation, including the spread of ferns and the first true mammals and birds. This period was crucial for shaping the Earth's ecosystems and geological features.
