Editing Triassic (section)

==Dating and subdivisions==
On the [[geologic time scale]], the Triassic is usually divided into [[Early Triassic|Early]], [[Middle Triassic|Middle]], and [[Late Triassic]] [[epoch (geology)|Epoch]]s, and the corresponding rocks are referred to as Lower, Middle, or Upper Triassic. The [[faunal stages]] from the youngest to oldest are:
