THE MIDDLE JURASSIC PERIOD, THE DOGGER EPOCH: 180-159 million years ago (mya).

In the Middle Jurassic, the supercontinent Pangaea started to drift apart . A north-south rift formed in mid-Jurassic, and by the late Jurassic, the separation of the continents of Laurasia and Gondwana was almost complete. PANGAEA
