Artists impression of Upper Cretaceous landscape
Artists impression of an Upper Cretaceous landscape. The Upper Cretaceous period extended from 100 to 65 million years ago and is represented by chalk deposits. Great areas of swamp bordered the seas, and on land dinosaurs were dominant. The early stages of the Alpine Orogeny (mountain formation) occurred, advanced flowering plants became important, and warm- blooded mammals saw their earliest beginnings

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's vivid interpretation of an Upper Cretaceous landscape, transporting us back in time to a period that spanned from 100 to 65 million years ago. The mesmerizing scene captures the essence of this geological era, characterized by extensive chalk deposits and remarkable natural formations. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a world where great swamps stretched alongside vast seas, creating a unique border between land and water. Dominating the terrestrial realm were majestic dinosaurs, ruling over their prehistoric domain with awe-inspiring might. The image also hints at significant geological events taking place during this epoch. The early stages of the Alpine Orogeny, or mountain formation process, can be seen subtly shaping the landscape in the distance. Additionally, advanced flowering plants emerge as key players in this ecosystem – their vibrant colors adding beauty and diversity to an already breathtaking panorama. Moreover, hidden within these ancient lands lie the earliest beginnings of warm-blooded mammals – tiny pioneers who would eventually evolve into today's diverse array of mammalian species. Through this extraordinary photograph print from Science Photo Library, we are granted a glimpse into Earth's distant past – a reminder of our planet's ever-changing nature and its rich tapestry of life forms across millennia.
