Jurassic the second period of the Mesozoic era, between the Triassic and Cretaceous periods. The Jurassic lasted from about 208 to 146 million years ago. Large reptiles, including the largest known dinosaurs, were dominant on both land and sea. Ammonites were abundant, and the first birds (including Archaeopteryx) appeared.
The name comes from French
jurassique, from the Jura mountains on the border of France and Switzerland.
Jurassic Park the title of a thriller (1990) by Michael Crichton and the Spielberg film based on it, in which dinosaurs were cloned from fossil DNA to stock a theme park; the result was carnage as the systems for control and safety failed. Jurassic Park is now referred to as a type of environment where savagery prevails.
