Prehistoric Sea Monsters Poster - Laminated
|
|
|
The Earth's oceans were once hunting grounds for real sea monsters that could have frightened even the most fearsome Hollywood creations. This fascinating poster provides 22 striking and scientifically accurate illustrations of the most well known. These aquatic monsters include Dunkleostleus, a giant fanged fish more than 33 feet long, with jaws like a primitive slicing machine for devouring armored prey; the 66 foot long Plesiosaurus, a ferocious long-necked aquatic reptile that was the apex predator of the Jurassic oceans; and the massive Megalodon, the largest-known shark at least three times longer and larger than today's Great White Shark.
Surprisingly, fossils for many of these aquatic species have been found in Central and western North America. That's because 148 million years ago this area was covered with a vast inland sea. It dried up about 70 million years ago, leaving behind many spectacular fossils. This poster contains a map of this sea and the above explanation.
Poster measures 36" Wide x 24" tall and is laminated.

Feathered Dinosaurs - Laminated
|
|
|
In 2004, Feenix published its cutting-edge Feathered Dinosaurs, which showed
all of the recently discovered species. The paleontologists have been very
busy because they have since discovered a great many more of these fascinating
critters. So many, in fact, that we had to create an all-new poster. It
shows 37 species, a big jump from the 17 shown on the original one. There
are now so many species that they are arranged by family, and each family is
introduced. Surprisingly, some of these families are greatly unrelated to ones
that were known to have feathered species.
Dilong paradoxus has been the most controversial. It is a member of the
tyrannosaur family, as is the famous Tyrannosaurus rex. The problem is that
Dilong lived many millions of years earlier, and it had feathers. This suggests
that the other tyrannosaurs which followed may have had them too. If so, then
good ole T. rex might have looked like a really big and ferocious chicken.
