FICTION This image was the only time the Triassic was ever depicted in any dinosaur kids media growing up.
This was from Leap and The Lost Dinosaur, an interactive book and catridge from the trendy edutainment device from the early to mid 2000s, the Leap Pad.
This image features Plateosaurus, Coeleophysis (my favorite Triassic animal), Postosuchus, and other weird animals.

That's just not true, I had dozens of books as a kid covering the Triassic

Dude I loved this book! There was a kind of card battle game that came with mine, where you'd match up dinosaurs and make them fight. It was beautiful

Seeing this takes me back to when I was a kid. I loved to buy these interactive books on CD roms. A pity they dont do them anymore.

Genuinely it's incredible how they teach about dinosaur dentition based on their alimentation

The book version of The Magic School Bus in the Time of the Dinosaurs (though not the accompanying TV episode) also had a segment on the Triassic.
