Australian Prehistoric Mammals The Riversleigh Fossil Site
Before the 1983 discoveries at the world heritage listed Riversleigh fossil sites a mere 70 species of older fossil land mammals were known for the whole of the Australian continent. This was a miserably low number for a continent the size of Australia. Considering the uniqueness of Australia's kangaroo, platypus and koala, it has long been a source of frustration to the world's scientists to know so little of what must have been an equally amazing fossil record.
Since 1983 the preserved remains of thousands of ancient inhabitants of northern Australia including giant pythons, carnivorous kangaroos and marsupial lions, have been recovered from Riversleigh. Almost half of what we know about the evolution of Australian mammals in the last 30 million years comes from bones found at a single site in the Riversleigh fossil beds. Amazingly half of these bones were unearthed in one hour.
Although Riversleigh will not fill in all the gaps in our knowledge about the history of Australia's land animals it has doubled previous knowledge in this area and has already provided the biggest single step in this direction.

Ice Age Animals and Their Extinction
Smilodon , last of the sabre-toothed cats. Artist: Caroll.L. Fenton. A range of giant mammals, birds and reptiles lived on Earth during the Pleistocene Epoch . These creatures included the woolly mammoth, sabre-toothed cat and giant deer in the Northern Hemisphere, and giant marsupials like Diprotodon in Australia. The Pleistocene Epoch was characterised by a series of ice ages-the last peaking about 18,000 years ago. The large, extinct animals of this time are therefore termed Pleistocene or Ice age mammals. The term ' Megafauna ' is also sometimes used, particularly for the giant marsupials that lived in Australia at this time. Palaeontologists are very interested in the ice age mammals. Many of these creatures coexisted with humans towards the end of the Pleistocene, with the last of them becoming extinct less than one thousand years ago. The causes of their extinction is of considerable interest, with most palaeontologists suggesting that climatic fluctuations, human hunting, human habitat alteration or a combination of the three were responsible. The part played by humans in the extinction of the megafauna is very unclear. Many researchers believe that the migration of humans into various parts of the world (such as North America) subjected the local megafauna to sudden hunting pressure, and so contributed to the extinction of many large animals. However, clear evidence of humans actually causing megafaunal extinctions is only present in Madagascar in the case of the giant lemurs, and in New Zealand in the case of the extinction of some of the moas (giant birds) about 500 years ago.

The Australian Megafauna
Evidence of the former existence of the Australian megafauna was known by the Aborigines, and was soon discovered by the earliest European settlers. A large collection of fossils from Wellington Caves, west of Sydney, was sent to England by Major Thomas Mitchell in 1831 for examination by the renowned Sir Richard Owen. Other specimens were sent by Leichardt, Strzelecki and Goyder, and Owen was progressively able to identify a number of large extinct marsupials and birds. The newly established Australian museums became involved in subsequent decades, and their work has continued to the present, with major excavations of fossils from sites in most states.

But what people don't often think of are the thousands of interesting creatures that lived and died on this planet of ours in the "in-between" years. The last dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago, the last Dodo died over 300 years ago. The millions of years between the two (The Cenozoic Era) have been populated (off and on) by some of the largest mammals the world has ever seen.

There are a huge number of sites that describe or relate to prehistoric animals and particularly dinosaurs. This links page is designed to be used in conjunction with REMedia's Prehistoric Animals CD-ROM disk. The CD-ROM contains many animations, movies and interviews that are either not available on the Internet or take a painfully long time to download with a 28.8K modem. Several of the sites listed below have information on many different aspects of prehistoric animals and the evolution of life on Earth. Once in one of these sites, you'll probably want to spend some time browsing around. Be warned, however, that some sites have areas for both the layperson and the scientist. If you suddenly find yourself on a page that seems very complex, just hit the back button on your browser. Exploring the Internet is a voyage of exploration, and you'll probably find a lot of extra links that are not mentioned here. Happy hunting!
When we look around us, we see a variety of different animal groups, from fish to birds, from tiny insects to huge mammals like the elephant and blue whale. These animals were not always on the Earth, however. When our planet was first born, it was too hot and inhospitable a place for any animal or plant to live. In the billions of years since the Earth cooled down, the climate and geology of our planet have stabilized, and the amazing variety of animals and plants that we see today have gradually evolved.

01 EUSTHENOPTERON (Greek:'strong fin')
The ancestors of the four-legged land vertebrates are to be found among the fleshy-finned fishes. The only surviving fleshy-fins, however, are the famous coelacanth (Latimeria) of the Indian Ocean and three genera of lungfish, all of which are cousins of the land vertebrates rather than their ancestors. More typical was Eusthenopteron from the Upper Devonian (350 million years ago) of North America and Europe. This carnivorous fresh-water fish, 1-2 feet long, had lobe like fins with strong muscular bases, nostrils which opened into the mouth and primitive lungs. In times of drought It could crawl on land from pool to pool in search of water and food. 02 ICHTHYOSTEGA (Greek: 'fish roof')
Half-way from fleshy-finned fish to amphibian was lchthyostega, 3 feet long, from rocks of eastern Greenland laid down in fresh water at the end of the Devonian period (345 million years ago). It still had a tail-fin like that of a fish and a remnant of the bones covering the gill-chamber but it is considered to be the earliest known amphibian because of the well developed limbs and limb girdles which are essentially those of a land animal, and the backbone was strengthened to support its weight when out of water. lchthyostega was probably truly amphibious in its habits. 03 ERYOPS (Greek: 'long face')
This was a typical member of the labyrinthodonts, the large amphibians of the Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic. Eryops itself lived in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico in Early Permian times (about 260 million years ago). It was a large, bulky animal, 5-6 feet long, which probably lived a truly amphibious life like that of modern crocodiles; the rather flattened head, armed with big teeth, suggests that it was a fish-eater. The backbone and other parts of the skeleton were very strongly built; it crawled slowly and awkwardly on its belly, pushing with its short bent legs. Bony nodules in the leathery skin formed a heavy armour.
