Differences between the late neogene world and that of the triassic–jurassic are vast, including but not limited to continental configuration with pangea straddling the equator, a lack of polar glaciers and very high co 2 (approximate background at between 1,000 and 2,000 ppm and maxima of 6,000 ppm) —a world without modern analog. Therefore, explanations of obliquity dominance due to fluctuations of high-latitude glaciers are difficult to support for the early mesozoic.

In the jurassic, shallow seas spread northward out of the tethys and southward from the arctic onto western europe. This also happened in north america, where an arctic sea spread over the present-day rocky mountains south to utah; the area adjacent to the gulf of mexico and atlantic coastal plain was also inundated.
The triassic-jurassic mass extinction occurred roughly 200 million years ago, about 50 million years after the end-permian crisis, and it may have shared similar causes. The triassic-jurassic is also associated with large-scale volcanism; in this case the central atlantic magmatic province that erupted as pangaea was ripped apart. While it was the final end for some old lineages such as ceratitic ammonoids and conodonts, this was the first major mass extinction experienced by a largely.
