π Step Into a Lost World of Dinosaurs
Travel back in time to the Mesozoic Era with this beautifully illustrated wall map, published by National Geographic in 2007. "Planet of the Dinosaurs: Laurasia" captures the essence of prehistoric Earth when the ancient supercontinent Pangaea split into two vast landmasses: Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south.
As the continents drifted apart, so too did the evolution of the dinosaurs that lived upon them. This map spotlights 10 magnificent species that once roamed the forests, plains, and floodplains of Laurasia β a rich and varied realm that would one day form North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.
Whether you're a teacher, dinosaur lover, or map collector, this stunning piece brings ancient life and global geography together in one eye-catching educational display.
