How did the Jurassic end? Ricardo (12)

Sorry but this is not a question for an archaeologist – archaeologists study human history which even at the very earliest stretches back to about 2 million years ago. The Jurassic period ended about 145 million years ago so there is a bit of a gap! This is a really a question for a palaeontologist. There’s a great club for young geologists and palaeontologists called Rockwatch (www.rockwatch.org.uk) who may be able to help.
