Biosphoto | 2479058 | An Elasmotherium grazes on the ancient steppe of what is today Southern Russia. Characterized by a single massive horn (up to 6 feet long), Elasmotherium was a giant herbivorous mammal active in Eurasia about 3 million years ago. Related to modern rhinos, Elasmotherium was more massive, standing about 8 feet tall at the shoulder and up to 26 feet long and weighing over 3 tons. . . Elasmotherium should not be confused with the smaller and extinct woolly rhinoceros which emerged about 2 million years after the appearance of the first Elasmotherium. | © Walter Myers / Stocktrek Images / Biosphoto

Biosphoto | 2479076 | 8-inch-long jawless fish of the genus Doryaspis swim amongst a bed of Anthozoa of the order Actiniaria (AKA sea anemones) 410 million years ago in what is today the Svalbard archipelago in Norway. Doryaspis (AKA Lyktaspis) was armored with bony spines and a long snout that had spines set along its length (somewhat like the saw of a modern sawfish). Doryaspis' mouth opened above, rather than below the snout, and is believed to have dined on plankton. However the snout may have been used to stir up small crustaceans from the mud or sand. . In addition to a variety of anemones are palm-like crinoids (class Crinoidea), pentagonal-shaped sea stars, nautilus-like ammonites, and squid-like nautiloid cephalopods of the genus Orthoceras. | © Walter Myers / Stocktrek Images / Biosphoto

Biosphoto | 2479082 | 20-foot-long, 1-ton mahajangasuchid crocodyliforms of the genus Kaprosuchus mill about at water's edge near a baobab tree 95 million years ago in what is today Africa. A distant relative of the crocodile, and somewhat larger than modern saltwater crocodiles, Kaprosuchus is notable for boar-like tusks that that project above and below its skull (lending it the nickname BoarCroc). With legs longer than modern crocodiles', Kaprosuchus may have roamed Africa's plains in search of prey which likely included dinosaurs. . Baobabs, trees of the genus Adansonia from the mallow family, are large, drought-resistant trees with very thick trunks (a much as 40 feet in diameter) and growing as tall as 100 feet. The thick trunks can store an enormous amount of water. Baobabs are deciduous, shedding their leaves during the dry season. . The ground foliage is made up of varieties of fern while the reed-like water plants are in fact horsetails. | © Walter Myers / Stocktrek Images / Biosphoto

Biosphoto | 2478979 | An Anomalocaris explores a Middle Cambrian ocean floor about 500 million years ago.

This image includes an Olenoides serratus trilobite and sponges genus Vauxia and Wapkia. The small, flower-like animals (yes, like the sponges they are rooted animals) are from the genus Dinomischus.
