Upper Cretaceous Landscape


Ideal landscape of the Upper Cretaceous Period, from Louis Figuier's The World Before the Deluge, 1867 American edition. In the sea swims the Mosasaurus. Mollusks, echinoderms and other animals appear along the shore. The plants are ferns and cycads, with palms and willows.
