Four colored-pencil drawings of prehistoric animals, arranged roughly into quadrants on a piece of paper. In the top left is the ichthyosaur Xiphodracon, with a very long and slender snout. In the top right is the generic-mammal-ever Ectoconus, leaping away from whatever ripped the tip of its tail off. In the bottom left is the early mammaliamorph Morganucodon, curled around itself as it sleeps. In the bottom right is the bilaterally-symmetric early echinoderm Atlascystis, drawn life-size at just under 1 cm wide at the front end and around 1 cm in length.
