A selection of pages on various creatures from the Earth's past
This section contains a number of sub-sections and pages on various groups of prehistoric animals, etc. These were originally part of the "Kheper - History of Gaia" section. However, as there was a lot of common ground and overlap, these pages were merged with Toby White's "Vertebrate Notes" to form the present
Palaeos website, and the "History of Gaia" pages taken down from this site as an unnecessary duplication.
More recently, I decided to put these original pages (at least the better and more complete ones) back up. The reason for this is:
What we have then is a three-way fork; the same origianl material going and evolving and combining in three different directions (Palaeos, Wiki, and the currect section). To faciliate cross reference, each page will include where applicable an icon linking it to the corresponding
Palaeos page, and another to the corresponding
Wiki page
Dinosaurs (incomplete)
Pareiasauridae - ox-sized primitive herbivores of the Permian
Pelycosauriae - Permian fin-backs and their relatives
Thecodonts - Archosaurs of the Triassic
Therapsids - Permo--triassic mammal-like reptiles
