Coelacanth-Ichthyostega$20 ($18 + S/H)Explore a distant era, around 400 million years ago, when vertebrates took their first steps on land. Most of the land animals we know today are descendants of these early adventurers. Watch fins turn to feet and gills to lungs as this ancient fish changes and pokes its head out of the water for the first time. |

Dimetrodon-Cynognathus$20 ($18 + S/H)Before the dinosaurs were the dominant creature on Earth there were lizards like Dimetrodon who ruled the land. A major extinction that happened between the Permian and Triassic periods, wiped out many of the land animals and drastically changed the habitat. The surviving descendants of Dimetrodon evolved to be smaller and started to develop “mammal-like” features which helped protect them against the new kings of the Earth, the dinosaurs. |

Yinlong-Styracosaurus$20 ($18 + S/H)Everyone loves Triceratops! Well Triceratops has many cool cousins who also lived during the Cretaceous period. One of those is Styracosaurus who is also a rhinoceros-like, plant eating dinosaur with a huge horn at the end of its nose. Most of these animals lived in what is now North America. But where did this family of dino favorites come from? Well it seems they may have had their origin in China with a small dinosaur called Yinlong 85 million years earlier. |

Pakicetus-Squalodon$20 ($18 + S/H)Whales and dolphins look like fish. But they are mammals like us and evolved from a family of land mammals, such as Pakicetus, to find a home in the sea. What is amazing is that these swimming mammals look almost exactly like fish, with fins and a tail. That means that the body design for sea creatures has evolved multiple times as some creatures returned to the water for food or to escape predators. |
