Triassic of Australia, prehistoric scene
Triassic of Australia. Artwork of a scene on the shores of a lake reconstructed from fossils found in Australia dating from the Triassic (250 to 200 million years ago). At left, lycopod trees (Pleuromeia longicaulis). At top right, the seed fern Dicroidium. At lower right, the herbivore Dicynodont (a mammal-like therapsid, widespread in the late Permian, survived through the Triassic). Dicynodont fossils are rare in Australia, but have been confirmed in Triassic formations. At lower left, the insect Clatrotitan andersoni on a gymnosperm. At upper right, a female scorpionfly. At upper left, a fly closely-related to the Limoniidae (small crane flies).
