Thematic Map - Dinosaurs of Gondwana & Laurasia | National Geographic

Discover the evolution and distribution of Gondwanan and Laurasian dinosaurs with this National Geographic thematic map. It traces the history of these animals from their appearance approximately 230 million years ago, when the continents still formed the supercontinent Pangea.

As continents drifted, Pangea gradually split into two large landmasses: Gondwana in the south and Laurasia in the north. This separation helped isolate dinosaur populations, which evolved differently on each continent until their extinction approximately 65 million years ago.
