Fossil Mammalia

“My fossil bones are all unpacked at the College of Surgeons… Some of them are turning out Great treasures … There is a[nother] head, as large as they can guess, must have been a gnawing animal. Conceive a Rat or a Hare of such a size – What famous cats they ought to have had in those days”.

— Charles Darwin

 Letter to his sister Caroline, Nov 9^th, 1836

The fossils that were found in the earth extracts are evidence that a series of strange creatures roamed the globe long before the appearance of human beings – who belong to the latest geological era.
