The '''Jurassic''' [[period (geology)|period]] is part of the [[geologic system]] of classifying geologic formations. The Jurassic period is part of the [[Mesozoic]] era, and is divided into Lower, Middle, and Upper epochs.  The Jurassic is preceded by the [[Triassic]] era and followed by the [[Cretaceous]] era.
