How The Formation of Pangea Changed The World

About Eons: Life and Death On Pangea:

It's the final act of the Paleozoic Era, just before the Age of Dinosaurs begins, and dark times are ahead.

In this series we will tell the story of life on the supercontinent of Pangea.

From a landscape ruled by strange mammal-relatives, through the relentless hellscape of the Great Dying itself and its aftermath, this series will shed light on the world of the Permian, how it ended, and how life recovered.
