Eocene animals and plants. Artwork of a scene in a Baltic forest in northern Europe during the Eocene (56 to 34 million years ago). This is semi-tropical woodland,with resin from gymnosperms trapping a praying mantid (centre left). This will eventually fossilise to form amber. At bottom is a mantophasmid insect. Also present are dragonflies,a butterfly,mayflies,and midges. In the background at lower right is the large flightless bird Diatryma. To its left are two Propalaeotherium (ancestral horses). At upper left is the lemur-like Europolemur | |
