You might think of Australia as a calm and peaceful place with small cute animals but one and a half million years ago‚ a monster roamed Australia‚ it’s name‚ Megalania. At this time‚ Australia was full of gigantic animals such as the Procoptodon and the Diprotodon and feeding on these gigantic animals was Megalania. There were other hunters such as the Marsupial Lion‚ one of the best hunters in the world at that time‚ but they were no match for this monster lizard. Today‚ scientists observe other

Travel Brochure Suppose you had a travel company that could take people back in time. Your time machine can take tourists back millions‚ and even billions of years. You will be developing a travel brochure to entice vacationers to come to your geologic time period or Era‚ and “enjoy” what the earth of that time has to offer. Things to keep in mind when working on this project: 1. Your travel brochure will need to include written descriptions as well as illustrations of the period/era.

Time scale The Pliocene Epoch extends from 5.3 million years ago to 2.58 million years ago. This epoch was also a period of cooling down for the Earth after the warm time period of the Miocene Epoch. There was also more advanced primate development of the ancestors of humans. It follows the Miocene Epoch (23 million to 5.3 million years ago) and is followed by the Pleistocene Epoch (2.58 million to 11‚700 years ago). The Pliocene Epoch is a subdivision of the Neogene Period‚ which is a part of the

1.3 Transitional fossils A transitional fossil is any fossilised remains of a life form that has traits common to both a presumed ancestral group and its presumed derived descendant group. Transitional fossils are used as evidence to support evolutionary theory as they are suggested to demonstrate the gradual transition from one species to another through a multitude of changes. In essence‚ the transitional fossils are the remains of the species that have gone extinct‚ and these species are represented

A mysterious planet found in our solar system is potentially up to some evil ways. Astrophysicists are tracking its orbit and claiming that its odd behaviour may eventually have a negative impact on Earth. PLANET 9 MAY HAVE SOME EVIL TENDENCIES According to a University of Louisiana astrophysics professor‚ Planet 9 and it’s unusual orbit may have been the cause of past extinctions. Professor Daniel Whitmire claims the ice planet will turn evil by hurling space rocks towards Earth. It’s 20‚000-year

Birds live in lots of many states over the world‚ but some species have become

George Gaylord Simpson Most famous work George Gaylord Simpson is known for his work in his contributions to evolutionary theory‚ and to the understanding of the migration of animals/ animal species in the past. He is a paleontologist‚ which means he studies fossils‚ from all around the world. He used to be a successful writer‚ and published over 500 hundred books and articles about animals‚ and their evolution over time. George Gaylord Simpson collected fossils for many important events‚ some
