{{stub}} According to geologists, who believe in the [[theory of evolution]] and/or an Earth that is billions of years old, the '''Jurassic''' epoch (period of time) dated from 203 million years ago to 146 million years ago. It is claimed by evolutionary scientists that this period was between the [[Triassic]] and before the [[Cretaceous]] Periods.<ref>http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-age-of-earth.html</ref>

The '''Jurassic''' period of the [[Mesozoic]] Era dated from 203 million years ago to 146 million years ago, after the [[Triassic]] and preceding the [[Cretaceous]] period. It is named for the Jura mountains between [[France]] and [[Switzerland]], which contain many rocks laid down during this period.

[[Sauropods]] such as [[Diplodocus]] were supposedly common during this period.

The period was dominated by dinosaurs. Notable Jurassic species included [[Stegosaurus]], [[Allosaurus]] and [[Diplodocus]].
