Description

This change intrigued Alastair Ruffell when he first found these rocks in 1980. But because he was too busy with work, he temporarily put off searching for a solution to this puzzle. It wasn't until 1987 that Alastair Ruffell happened to meet paleontologist Michael Simms. They suggested that the Late Triassic extinction and the mysterious wet period were related.
And they called this phase the Carnian Plugvial event. During this event period, humidity increased markedly across the globe, disrupting the arid climate of the Late Triassic. This humidity is related to the sudden increase in rainfall during this time.
