Extractions: Over all,this one is as good as the first book and a very good complement. I thought there was something missing in the first. And that was the other prehistoric animals. Together,these books are my most famous inspiration source for my story "The Island Forgotten by Time"with all of the famous action motifs of the pictures as well as just beauty. If you own the first,try this. If you dont own them,buy them both!These books are actually children`s books but for a dinosaur fan,it doesn`t matter. For children,buy it for the text. For paleontologists,some of the illustrations are invaluable!So I bought it for the images,not for the text,as I am a seriously interested dinosaur maniac too!

http://members.aol.com/althist1/Oct03/australia.htm

Extractions: I have mixed emotions about this book. It starts out with a very good set of chapters introducing Australias mammals. It talks about how they developed, how they were found and the constraints that living on a small and mostly desert continent puts on them. That part is almost worth the cost of the book. The rest of the book is a mixed bag from the point of view of the interested non-specialist. It has very good illustrations and lots of them. Some of the species descriptions are written in such a way that an intelligent layperson can get the gist of them. Others probably have something profound to say, but not to the non-specialist. For example: Distinguishing features of Diprotodon include: its large size; relatively small P3 (compared to the molars); P3 shearing blades which unite to form a horse-shoe shaped crescent open on the buccal side; bilophodont molars without conspicuous midlinks; molar enamel with a rugose, punctuate surface- I think almost everyone reading that would join me in saying huh? Thats not meant so much as a criticism as a caution. Non-specialists will find parts of this book irritating because they want to find out more about the animals involved, and that information is undoubtedly in there if you can extract it from the jargon it is encased in.

http://www.paleocene-mammals.de/marsupials.htm

Extractions: Marsupials: A southern success story Marsupials are often associated with the Australian continent where such popular animals as kangaroos and koalas live. Less widely known is that a number of marsupials occur in South America today. These include the opossums, the only marsupials that also occur in the northern hemisphere today. Surprisingly, Mesozoic marsupials are mainly known from North America, and they may have originated there during the Cretaceous. Primitive opossum-like marsupials are among the most common and most diverse mammals in the late Cretaceous of North America. They include cat-sized forms like Didelphodon , one of the largest Mesozoic mammals - and one of the most widely known thanks to its appearance in "Walking with Dinosaurs". Didelphodon had teeth specialized for crushing, and it has been suggested that it fed on hard shelled food like clams, snails, turtles or even young ankylosaurs. The diversity of North American marsupials was dramatically reduced at the end of the Cretaceous. Only one single lineage, represented by late Cretaceous Alphadon and Paleocene Peradectes , survived the faunal turnover. Thus marsupials fared hardly better than dinosaurs in North America, and worse than reptiles on the whole.

http://www.paleocene-mammals.de/multis.htm

Extractions: Multituberculates: Heyday of the longest lived mammalian order The order Multituberculata, informally also known as 'multis', is a diverse lineage of Mesozoic to early Cenozoic mammals that occupied a rodent-like niche. They appear first in the late Jurassic and are last known from the early Oligocene. The late Triassic haramiyids were sometimes considered as early multituberculates. More complete fossils have recently shown that haramiyids are a very different group of early mammals. But even without haramiyids, multituberculates existed for a time span of about 100 million years, the undisputed record for an order of mammals. Multituberculates do not belong to any of the groups of mammals living today: the primitive egg-laying monotremes and the more advanced marsupials and placentals, both also known as therians. The relationships of the multituberculates to these groups are still debated. Multituberculates have been considered as either a group that branched off even before the monotremes, as close relatives of the monotremes or as sister group of the therian mammals. Anyway, multituberculates were clearly very mammal-like, both in details of the internal anatomy, like the structure of the middle ear with the three auditory ossicles, and in external appearance, like the recently demonstrated possession of hair (see below). The anatomy of the pelvis suggests that multituberculates did not lay eggs like monotremes but gave birth to very small, immature young like marsupials. In the late Cretaceous multituberculates were widespread and diverse in the northern hemisphere, making up more than half of the mammal species of typical faunas. Although some lineages became extinct during the faunal turnover at the end of the Cretaceous, multituberculates managed very successfully to cross the K/T boundary and reached their peak of diversity during the Paleocene. They were an important component of nearly all Paleocene faunas of Europe and North America, and of some late Paleocene faunas of Asia. Multituberculates also were most diverse in size during the Paleocene, ranging from the size of a very small mouse to that of a beaver.

South America. Smilodon , last of the sabre-toothed cats. Artist: Caroll.L. Fenton. A range of giant mammals, birds and reptiles lived on Earth during the Pleistocene Epoch . These creatures included the woolly mammoth, sabre-toothed cat and giant deer in the Northern Hemisphere, and giant marsupials like Diprotodon in Australia. The Pleistocene Epoch was characterised by a series of ice ages-the last peaking about 18000 years ago. The large, extinct animals of this time are therefore termed Pleistocene or Ice age mammals. The term ' Megafauna ' is also sometimes used, particularly for the giant marsupials that lived in Australia at this time. Palaeontologists are very interested in the ice age mammals. Many of these creatures coexisted with humans towards the end of the Pleistocene, with the last of them becoming extinct less than one thousand years ago. The causes of their extinction is of considerable interest, with most palaeontologists suggesting that climatic fluctuations, human hunting, human habitat alteration or a combination of the three were responsible. The part played by humans in the extinction of the megafauna is very unclear. Many researchers believe that the migration of humans into various parts of the world (such as North America) subjected the local megafauna to sudden hunting pressure, and so contributed to the extinction of many large animals. However, clear evidence of humans actually causing megafaunal extinctions is only present in Madagascar in the case of the giant lemurs, and in New Zealand in the case of the extinction of some of the moas (giant birds) about 500 years ago.

This period is further divided into Pleistocene Epoch (duration about 1.77 million years) and Holocene Epoch (about 10 thousand years). This was a period of successive ice ages, the last at its peak about 18000 years ago. Modern humans were present from about 100000 years ago.

About 65 to 1.78 million years ago. This sub-era is further divided into Epochs named Paleocene (duration about 10.2 million years), Eocene (about 21.1 million years), Oligocene (about 9.8 million years), Miocene (about 18.5 million years) and Pliocene (about 3.5 million years). This interval is sometimes called the 'Age of Mammals' because of the marked increase in the diversity and abundance of mammals of all kinds. Flowering plants, grasslands and deciduous trees were widespread, and insects, crocodiles, turtles, and tortoises continued to evolve. Fish increased in variety (including giant sharks more than 20 metres long about 15 million years ago). Most invertebrates were similar to those living today. Towards the end of the Tertiary, a number of very large mammals appeared. In the Northern hemisphere, these included ancestors of the mammoth and sabre-toothed cat; in Australia they were giant marsupials and lizards, and large, flightless birds.

Extractions: Pre Lab OBJECTIVES: VOCABULARY: MATERIALS: Students color a worksheet comparing dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. BACKGROUND: A common mistake made by manufacturers of dinosaur toys and games is to call dinosaurs "prehistoric" animals. Strictly speaking, the term "prehistoric" means before written history. Dinosaurs certainly lived before humans or writing, but in practice prehistoric is used by most people to refer to the time from the beginning of the Ice Age (the Pleistocene Epoch, beginning 1.8 million years ago) to the beginning of written history. Classifying dinosaurs as prehistoric leads to incorrect notions, for example, that the dinosaurs were contemporaneous with large mammals like mammoths and saber-toothed cats, or worse, that dinosaurs lived at the same time as humans. The second goal of the Pre lab is to introduce the concept of eating habits and food types. Different dinosaurs ate different types of food. The Mesozoic dinosaurs included carnivores (meat-eaters), herbivores (plant-eaters) and omnivores (plant- and meat-eaters). Paleontologists can tell what different dinosaurs ate by looking at the shape of their teeth and the shape of their bodies and comparing them with the shapes of modern carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. Teeth are the most common type of vertebrate body part found as fossils because they are denser and more resistant to chemical destruction than the other bones in the vertebrate

Animal biological and soul life are sustained by two of the 7 Spirits from the Heavenly Control Room Animals and prehistoric man existed on prehistoric earth. They became extinct or were destroyed prior to the re-creation. Modern man and animals were created on the 6th Day of re-creation ( Genesis 1:24-31 ). Modern man, who was created with a body, soul, and spirit, is entirely different from prehistoric man.

The mosaics were designed by Hildreth Meiere. The animals inhabit the guilloche (band) that links four circles representing the four elements - earth, air, fire and water - with the central figure of Mother Nature. The overall design was inspired by a pattern in the floor of the Cathedral of Siena. Meiere's design occupies the floor of the rotunda, the centrepiece of the Capitol which was built between 1922 and 1932. The animals, all from Nebraska's own geological history, are grouped with the four elements as follows:
