Another busy exhibit inside the American Museum of Natural History. This was in the Hall of Primitive Mammals. I could never get a clear shot with no people in front of the display.
The Hall of Primitive Mammals, one of two halls in the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of Mammals and Their Extinct Relatives, traces the lower branches of the evolutionary tree of mammals, including monotremes, marsupials, sloths, and armadillos.
Some of the very early mammal relatives trace their roots back some 300 million years and dominated the landscape millions of years before the dinosaurs and most became extinct.

Long dormant volcano. Budj Bim is the source of the Tyrendarra lava flow which extends over 50km to the southwest. It is central to the history of the Gunditjmara people.
Mount Eccles National Park is Victoria’s first co-managed national park. The park is managed by Gunditjmara Traditional Owners and Parks Victoria.
The park’s tranquil crater lake and pleasant bushland surrounds make it a pleasant place for picnicking, camping and bushwalking. Nature trails follow the old crater rim.
Marker for extinct species of Morus boninensis, Waimea Falls Park, Oahu, April 2012: The sign reads: "This time-worn piece of wood bearing the Japanese inscription 'Ogasawara section'. is all that we have of the very large specimen of Morus boninensis. a tree which was chopped down a century ago on the island of Hahajima in the Ogasawara chain. 2800 growth rings were counted on its 18 foot diameter stump. This wood was found on a plant collecting expedition where it had lain for 80 years on the wet jungle floor without decaying. Now only 26 small trees survive, all fruitless or unable to breed true – the tragic end of a line."
The Blue Lake; Best viewed large. Extinct Volcano.
The blue lake is used as the water supply for the Town of Mount Gambier, situated on the slopes of the Volcano. The photo was taken from the lookout tower on the highest point on the Volcano rim.
The photo was taken with Pentax Spotmatic about 1968 using 35ml slide film,

We found this in Big Brook, a stream in New Jersey that is noted for its Cretaceous fossils. A fellow fossil enthusiast with extensive knowledge of ammonites identified this for me.

There is always one of these at every natural history museum I end up at in the British Isles.
"The Irish elk (Megaloceros giganteus) or Irish giant deer, is an extinct species of deer in the genus Megaloceros and is one of the largest deer that ever lived. Its range extended across Eurasia, from Ireland to northern Asia and Africa. A related form is recorded from China during the Late Pleistocene. The most recent remains of the species have been carbon dated to about 7,700 years ago in Siberia. Although most skeletons have been found in bogs in Ireland, the animal was not exclusive to Ireland and was not closely related to either of the living species currently called elk - Alces alces (the European elk, known in North America as the moose) or Cervus canadensis (the North American elk or wapiti). For this reason, the name "Giant deer" is used in some publications, instead of "Irish elk". A study has suggested that the Irish elk was closely related to the Red deer (Cervus elaphus). However, other phylogenetic analyses support the idea of a sister-group relationship between fallow deer (Dama dama) and the Irish elk."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_elk
"The giant Irish deer lived during the late Ice Age. The reason for its extinction is not fully understood but climate change at the end of the Ice Age, as well as hunting and habitat change by humans, may have been contributing factors. It died out in Ireland about 10,500 years ago and in Scotland about 9,000 years ago. However evidence suggests that it may have survived in Siberia until as recently as 7,000 years ago."

Some of the friendlier giants that roamed our planet a long, long time ago. Almost seems likes they sensed me and turned towards the camera to pose.

Giraffes (Girafas). Kruger Park. South Africa. Dec/2018
The giraffe (Giraffa) is a genus of African even-toed ungulate mammals, the tallest living terrestrial animals and the largest ruminants. The genus currently consists of one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, the type species. Seven other species are extinct, prehistoric species known from fossils. Taxonomic classifications of one to eight extant giraffe species have been described, based upon research into the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, as well as morphological measurements of Giraffa, but the IUCN currently recognises only one species with nine subspecies.
The giraffe's chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. Its scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and woodlands. Their food source is leaves, fruits and flowers of woody plants, primarily acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. They may be preyed on by lions, leopards, spotted hyenas and African wild dogs.
Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of around 20,000 square kilometres in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 kilometres (220 mi) from north to south and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from east to west.

A girafa é um gênero de mamíferos ungulados africanos, sendo os animais terrestres mais altos e os maiores ruminantes. O gênero atualmente consiste de uma espécie, Giraffa camelopardalis, a espécie-tipo. Sete outras espécies são espécies pré-históricas conhecidas de fósseis. Classificações taxonômicas de uma a oito espécies existentes de girafas foram descritas, baseadas em pesquisas com DNA nuclear e mitocondrial, bem como em medidas morfológicas de Giraffa, mas atualmente a IUCN reconhece apenas uma espécie com nove subespécies.
As principais características distintivas da girafa são seu pescoço e pernas extremamente longos, seus ossólones semelhantes a chifres e seus distintos padrões de pelagem. É classificada sob a família Giraffidae, junto com seu parente mais próximo, o okapi. Seu alcance disperso estende-se do Chade, no norte, até a África do Sul, no sul, e do Níger, no oeste, até a Somália, no leste. Girafas geralmente habitam savanas e bosques. Sua fonte de alimento são folhas, frutos e flores de plantas lenhosas, principalmente espécies de acácia. Eles podem ser predados por leões, leopardos, hienas dentre outros.
O Parque Nacional Kruger é a maior área protegida de fauna bravia da África do Sul, cobrindo cerca de 20 000 km2. Está localizado no nordeste do país, nas províncias de Mpumalanga e Limpopo e tem uma extensão de cerca de 360 km de norte a sul e 65 km de leste a oeste.
Os parques nacionais africanos, nas regiões da savana africana são importantes pelo turismo com safári de observação e fotográfico.
O seu nome foi dado em homenagem a Stephanus Johannes Paul Kruger, último presidente da República Sul-Africana bôere. Foi criado em 31 de Maio de 1926

Fisherites - fossil calcareous algae from the Ordovician.
This fossil is also known as Receptactulites.
Receptaculitids are an extinct group of shallow-water marine organisms that have been reported from most of the Paleozoic (Ordovician to Permian). They have a calcareous skeleton with a broadly inflated discoidal shape having a sunflower-like pattern. The taxonomic affiliations of receptaculitides are uncertain. These fossils have been referred to as sponges or algae. Modern researchers seem to agree that receptaculitids are calcareous algae. More specific taxonomic assignments remain controversial.
Classification: Plantae incertae sedis, Receptaculitaphyceae, Receptaculitales, Receptaculitaceae
