Macroolithus rugustus

Morus recentior was a Pleistocene gannet close to the modern Northern Gannet lineage. Representing the late Quaternary gannet fauna before the current species composition was established, it helps trace the recent evolutionary history of these spectacular seabirds.

The final age of dinosaurs, featuring iconic species like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Velociraptor. Dinosaurs reached their peak diversity before the catastrophic asteroid impact at the Chicxulub crater ended the Mesozoic Era.
