The story of Kent Ridge begins some 230 million years ago in a shallow, warm tropical sea, close to the equator. Here, in the Upper Triassic geological period, the sediments that were to become the rocks of the Jurong Formation (sedimentary rocks on the western and southern parts of Singapore) were being laid down—a process that would continue intermittently for the next 40 million years or so. It was the beginning of the age of the dinosaurs but, for the moment, archosaurs (the ancestors for modern birds, lizards and crocodilians) ruled earth.
