The Formation of the Earth - Artist's View - Meteorite strike on infant Earth - The Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago from a gigantic cloud of gas and dust. These dust accreted to form our planet; it was subjected to a large bombardment of meteorites. A molten, infant Earth is impacted by an object about 10 miles in diameter, releasing 200 million times a much energy as the largest manmade explosion. While this collision appears negligible when compared to the scars of much larger encounters, a similar impact four billion years later may have resulted in the extinction of the dinosaurs. The Earth accrued the majority of its mass during the 100 million years following the formation of the Sun, a period referred to as the cosmic bombardment. During this era of frequent impacts and radioactive heating, the entire Earth remained molten long enough for the heavy metals iron and nickel to settle to the center of the Earth while lighter silicates floated to the surface. Today, over four

Earth Formation - Artist View - Earth is born - Artist view - Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago from a gigantic cloud of gas and dust. These dust accreted to form our planet, and it was subjected to a large bombardment of meteorites. 4.6 billion years ago the Sun and the planets coalesced from a vast nebular cloud of gas and dust. About a million years later the Sun began shining when it accrued enough mass to ignite its hydrogen fusion furnace. The ensuing solar wind purged the infant solar system of much of its nebular origins, while leaving dust and debris, including asteroids and planetoids, in the plane of the ecliptic to be swept up by the forming planets. This rendering suggests how the newly formed Earth and sun may have appeared shortly after the Sun's heat and solar wind cleared the inner solar system of cooler gases. The entire Earth is molten due to radioactive heating and frequent, heat - generating collisions with the remaining debris. Far above and below the Earth's

The Formation of the Earth and the Moon - Young Earth and Moon - The young Earth draped with thick clouds is illuminated by lightning and the reddish glow of volcanoes. Still surrounded by the remains of the primitive nebula, it will wait another 500 million years to cool sufisciously, form a solid crust and develop a primitive atmosphere. Top right is the Moon, still covered in molten lava. A young Earth is shrouded in turbulent, roiling clouds, while under the shadow of its night side can be seen flashes of lightning and the ruddy glow of volcanoes and lava fields illuminating the clouds from beneath. The space around the Earth is highlighted by remnants of the nebula from which the Solar System was born. On the upper right is the Earth's Moon whose lava - filled scars from massive impacts are still cooling. 500 million years after its molten birth the Earth's surface would have cooled enough for a solid crust to form, and gases delivered by comets and emissions from within would hav

The stages of Earth formation - Artist view - Earth formation - Artist view - The Earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago from a gigantic cloud of gas and dust. From microscopic grains, planetesimal form, clash and agglomerate to form our planet; it was then subjected to a large bombardment of meteorites bringing a significant share of the water to Earth. Earth formed 4.54 billion years ago from a large protoplanetary disk accreting. The proto earth was bombarded by planetoids heating the newly formed planet

Earth formed 4.54 billion years ago from a large protoplanetary disk accreting. The proto earth was bombarded by planetoids heating the newly formed planet

Surrounding the Postosuchus are various cycads, ferns, and tree-like Glossopteridales. With a crocodile-like body and tyrannosaurlike head, Postosuchus was likely a fierce apex predator that preyed upon Dicynodonts and other animals smaller than itself, including some of the first dinosaurs

It was one of the largest Aetosaurs. 15-foot-long, 750 pound aetosaurian archosaurs of the genus Desmatosuchus search for edible roots amidst cycads and ferns 230 million years ago in what is today Texas. Armored plates and spikes, with some spikes up to 18 inches long, helped protect this otherwise vulnerable crocodile-like herbivore from the many terrestrial predators of the period including rauisuchian archosaurs like Postosuchus. Desmatosuchus is also notable for its unusual pig‑like head and shovel-like snout which were likely well-suited for uprooting small plants

Horsetails and ferns flourish near the water. Tanystropheus was not a dinosaur, rather it was an ancient marine reptile, an archosaur, that hunted ocean shores at a time when true dinosaurs were only making their first appearance on land. Tanystropheus was likely a fish-eater due to its long, narrow snout and sharp interlocking teeth typical of marine predators. Tanystropheus had an extraordinarily long neck, as long as its body and tail combined, though with only ten vertebrae it was likely not very flexible.

Futalongkosaurus - Futalongkosaurus dukei, is a titanosaur whose first representative was described in 2007. His fossils were found in Argentina. This herbivorous dinosaur was 32 to 34 metres long, weighed nearly 8 tonnes, and lived about 87 million years ago. The recently described titanosaurid, Futalognkosaurus dukei, has the most complete skeleton known (all cervical and dorsal vertebrae and hip bones) for a sauropod of its enormous size (estimated at around 34 m), and was recovered from Argentinian Coniacian Cretaceous deposits that also yielded a wealth of other contemporaneous plant and animal fossils

Dimetrodon Grandis - Dimetrodon grandis portrait - Artist's view of a dimetrodon about 280 million years ago. Dimetrodon is a carnivorous mammalian reptile (Therapside) living in Permian. An eleven foot long Dimetrodon grandis traverses an Earth that became cooler and dryer during the Early Permian period. 280 million years ago - long before the reign of dinosaurs - Dimetrodon emerged as the dominant land predator, a position they held for the next 20 million years. Contrary to their reptilian stance and dinosaurlike appearance, Dimetrodon are in fact more closely related to mammals, and hence to humans, than to dinosaurs or reptiles

Edaphosaurus amidst cordaites - An Edaphosaur among cordaites (Cordaites angulostriatus) 300 million years ago in Europe. Edaphosaurus was a large herbivore (more than 3m long) living in Permian. A ten-foot-long, 600 pound synapsid of the genus Edaphosaurus boreages in a brackish mangrove-like swamp of gymnosperms of the genus Cordaites 300 million years ago in what is today Western Europe. Like its better-known synapsid cousin Dimetrodon, Edaphosaurus had a large sail on its back supported by elongated neural spines, however unlike Dimetrodon, these spines include numerous short cross bars; while the sail may have served the purpose of both helping to regulate body temperature and as sexual display, the purpose of the cross bars is unknown. Jaw and teeth structure suggests that Edaphosaurus probably dined on both plants and small invertebrates, such as mollusks. Tree-like Cordaites, now extinct, grew on wet ground similar to the Everglades in Florida, numerous fossils of which are now

The Paraceratherium was a gigantic terrestrial mammal nearly six metres high and weighing 20 tons. Apparently to modern Rhinoceros, it disappeared 23 million years ago. A Paraceratherium mother grazes on leaves and twigs of a poplar tree 30 million years ago during the Rupelian Stage of the Oligocene Epoch in northwest China. Paraceratherium is believed to be the largest mammal ever to have walked the Earth. Adult Paraceratherium are estimated to have been 18 ft tall at the shoulder with a maximum raised head height of 26 ft. They may have weighed as much as 20 tons. Related to modern rhinoceroses, Paraceratherium became extinct about 23 million years ago

Moeritherium - Moeritherium is a prehistoric mammal connected to the elephant and, further away, to the manatee and dugong. He lived in Eocene 35 million years ago. The Moeritherium were animals similar to the pig, and resembling tapirs. They were smaller than modern elephants, with only 70 centimetres at withers and about 3 m long. It is believed that they liked to live in marshes and rivers, occupying the ecological niche now occupied by a hippo. The shape of his teeth suggests that they were feeding on tender aquatic vegetation. Proboscideans of the genus Moeritherium wallow in a swamp 36 million years ago in what is today North Africa. Resembling modern tapirs or pygmy hippopotamuses, Moeritherium is in fact related to elephants. They stood only about 2.5 feet at the shoulder and were about 10 feet long. Dwelling in swamps and rivers and subsisting on soft vegetation, it is believed Moeritherium occupied an ecological niche subsequently filled by modern hippopotamuses
