Stegosaurus ungulatus (USNM 4936) is a large stegosaurid from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America, with specimen USNM 4936 on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

Iguanodon bernissartensis is a large herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous, known from exceptionally complete fossils discovered in a coal mine at Bernissart, Belgium, in 1878. The find included dozens of associated skeletons and strongly influenced early scientific reconstructio...

Zygomaturus is an extinct genus of diprotodontid marsupial from the Pleistocene of Australia, closely related to the larger Diprotodon. It was a heavily built herbivore distinguished by a broad skull and prominent cheekbones (zygomatic arches). Fossils have been recovered primarily from sites in sou...

Edmontosaurus regalis was a large, plant-eating hadrosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of western North America, especially Alberta, Canada. It had the broad, toothless beak and dense dental batteries characteristic of hadrosaurs, adaptations for cropping and processing vegetation. Exceptiona...

Styracosaurus albertensis was a herbivorous centrosaurine ceratopsid from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada. It had a large nasal horn, a short beak and an expanded neck frill bearing several elongated spikes, including prominent paired spikes projecting from its rear margin. The animal is know...

Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis was a large pachycephalosaurid dinosaur from the latest Cretaceous rocks of western North America. It is recognized by a massively thickened, rounded skull dome bordered by knobs and short spikes, while the rest of its skeleton is less completely known. The dome may h...

Massospondylus carinatus is an early sauropodomorph dinosaur known from Early Jurassic rocks in southern Africa, especially South Africa and Lesotho. It had a long neck and tail, a relatively small head, grasping hands, and a body plan associated with the evolutionary lineage that later produced sau...

Camarasaurus supremus is a species of Camarasaurus, a large herbivorous sauropod from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of western North America. Edward Drinker Cope named it in 1877 from fossils discovered in Colorado, and it was the type species of the genus. Camarasaurus had a relatively short...

Kentrosaurus aethiopicus is a stegosaurian dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Tendaguru Formation of present-day Tanzania. Its remains were collected during German expeditions to Tendaguru between 1909 and 1913, and the species was named in 1915. Kentrosaurus had plates along the front portion of its b...

Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis is a centrosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, named in 1950. Instead of the prominent nasal horn seen in many related ceratopsids, it possessed a broad, thickened bony boss over the nose, together with additional ornamentation on the...

Edaphosaurus pogonias was a large plant-eating synapsid from the Early Permian of North America. It had a relatively small skull, a deep body, and elongated neural spines supporting a prominent dorsal sail; many of those spines carried distinctive lateral crossbars. Although superficially similar to...

Cetiosaurus oxoniensis is a large herbivorous sauropod dinosaur from Middle Jurassic rocks in England, particularly the Oxford Clay and related deposits of Oxfordshire. Richard Owen named the genus Cetiosaurus in 1841, making it one of the earliest sauropod genera recognized by science, although the...

Vulcanodon karibaensis is an early sauropod dinosaur known from Early Jurassic rocks near Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. Its fossils include much of the pelvis, hind limbs, forelimbs, and tail, but no confirmed skull, so its diet and appearance are reconstructed partly from related sauropods. The strong,...

Thylogale browni, or Brown's pademelon, is a small forest wallaby described in 1877 and native to New Guinea, with introduced populations on nearby islands.

Camptosaurus dispar is an ornithopod from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America, first described by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1885.

The musky rat-kangaroo, described by Edward Pierson Ramsay in 1876, is a small marsupial endemic to the tropical rainforests of northeastern Queensland. As the smallest living macropod, it is distinguished from other kangaroos and wallabies by its quadrupedal bounding gait rather than bipedal hoppin...

The short-eared brushtail possum is a nocturnal marsupial native to eastern Australia, distinguished from other possums by its shorter ears and heavily built body.

The brown pademelon is a small forest-dwelling marsupial native to Papua New Guinea, notably inhabiting the islands of New Britain and New Ireland.

Dominant limpet of European Atlantic rocky shores, known for homing precisely to its individual rock scar after each nocturnal algae-grazing excursion.

Common herbivorous intertidal snail of the Pacific coast of North America, serving as an important prey item for sea otters, oystercatchers, and gulls.

Caribbean strombid with a broad, wing-like flaring outer lip, restricted to shallow seagrass and sandy habitats of the tropical western Atlantic, including Florida and the Bahamas.

Medium-sized Caribbean strombid that uses its sharp, pointed operculum as a lever to right itself when overturned, an active locomotor behavior that inspired its common name.

A marine gastropod native to northeastern Atlantic shores from Britain to Morocco, restricted to the upper intertidal zone of exposed and semi-exposed rocky coasts.

The Common Cerith is a marine gastropod prevalent in the Mediterranean Sea, playing a crucial ecological role as a detritivore while featuring a tall, spiraled shell.
