The Triassic period is a period in Earth's history from about 251 million to 201 million years ago, during which many dinosaurs appeared. The following are some dinosaurs that existed in the Triassic period:


1. Massospondylus: about 4-6 meters long, mainly distributed in South Africa and Zimbabwe.


2. Eoraptor: about 1-2 meters long, lived in northern Argentina. It is considered one of the earliest dinosaurs.


3. Carnosauria: Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, etc. belong to this suborder, and their bodies are relatively large.


4. Stegosauria: Stegosaurus, Spinosaurus, etc. belong to this suborder, and they were also quite developed in the later Jurassic period.


5. Sauropodomorpha: Diplodocus, Dianosaur, etc. belong to this group. They are huge and are one of the largest animals in prehistoric creatures.


The above are some dinosaurs that existed in the Triassic period. Due to the lack of fossil records, we still need to continue research to learn more about dinosaurs in this period.
