{{Triassic}}The Norian is a division of the Triassic geological period. It has the rank of an age (geochronology) or stage (chronostratigraphy). The Norian lasted from ~227 to {{Period start|Rhaetian}} million years ago.[1] It was preceded by the Carnian and succeeded by the Rhaetian.[2] Stratigraphic definitionsThe Norian was named after the Noric Alps in Austria. The stage was introduced into scientific literature by Austrian geologist Edmund Mojsisovics von Mojsvar in 1869. The Norian stage begins at the base of the ammonite biozones of Klamathites macrolobatus and Stikinoceras kerri, and at the base of the conodont biozones of Metapolygnathus communisti and Metapolygnathus primitius. A global reference profile for the base (a GSSP) had in 2009 not yet been appointed. The top of the Norian (the base of the Rhaetian) is at the first appearance of ammonite species Cochloceras amoenum. The base of the Rheatian is also close to the first appearance of conodont species Misikella spp. and Epigondolella mosheri and the radiolarid species Proparvicingula moniliformis. In the Tethys domain, the Norian stage contains six ammonite biozones: - zone of Halorites macer
- zone of Himavatites hogarti
- zone of Cyrtopleurites bicrenatus
- zone of Juvavites magnus
- zone of Malayites paulckei
- zone of Guembelites jandianus

| 208 Ma | Avon, England | A disputed dinosaur known from an ilium, maxilla, astragalus, and humerus (it could be a chimera). Agnosphitys lies close to the ancestry of dinosaurs, although exactly where is disputed by researchers. Some consider it a saurischian close to the beginnings of dinosaur evolution, while others consider it a non-dinosaurian dinosauromorph. | | | Carnian to Norian | Chinle Formation, New Mexico, USA | | Carnian to Norian | Chinle Formation, New Mexico and Arizona and Bull Canyon Formation, New Mexico | | 210 Ma | South Africa | A swift-running basal ornithischian that has the most complete known remains from any Triassic ornithischian, shedding new light on the origin of this group. One of the earliest known ornithischians, it sheds some light on early dinosaur relationships because early dinosaurs are known from mostly incomplete skeletons. Eocursor is known from partial skeletal elements, including skull fragments, spinal elements, pelvis, long leg bones, and unusually large grasping hands. | | 228-201.3 Ma, Norian to Rhaetian | Trossingen Formation, Thuringia, Germany | A coelophysoid that is the best represented Triassic theropod from Europe and one of the largest known. | | 214-204 Ma, Carnian to Norian | Trossingen Formation, Bavaria, Germany | | Norian to Rhaetian | |
