From the first plant return to diverse insects, amphibians, marine reptiles and early archosaurs, the exhibition maps ecosystem recovery and innovation. A highlight is Mirasaura grauvogeli from the Grauvogel collection, sharpening early reptile evolution and Triassic timelines.

A specimen in the permanent exhibition of Museum am Löwentor (SMNS) preserves the remains of cephalopod arm hooklets and at least four neonatal Stenopterygius specimens in the stomach region, which are interpreted as prey.
