PANGAEAU
300 MYA
This was Pangea, the giant supercontinent
that existed more than 300 million years ago.
Most of Earth's land was connected into one
enormous landmass, surrounded by the vast
ocean
PANTHALASSA.
Pangea was home to the sail
backed Dimetrodon,
DIME
DIMETRODON
plant eating Edaphosaurus,
EDA
DIMETRODON
large amphibians like Eryops, and boomerang
headed
DIPLOCAULUS
ERYOPS
EDAPHOSAURUS
DIPLOCAULUS.
The giant millipede like
ARTHROPLEURA
crawled across the forest
floor
MEGANEU
while Meganeura, a huge
dragonfly like insect
flew above ancient swamps.
XENACANTHUS
Freshwater sharks like
Xenacanthus and
ORTHACANTHUS
Orthacanthus
hunted through rivers and
lakes.
EDAPHOSAURUS
DIPLOCAULUS
ERYOPS
HYLONOMUS
DIMETRODON
ARTHROPLEURA
MEGANEU
Early reptiles such as
Hylonomas also lived on
land.
Dinosaurs had not appeared
yet.
Over time, Pangea broke
apart, and its landmasses
slowly became the
continents we know today.
