In this scenario the ROB has asked the Sietch to select Prehistoric animals for a planet he has terraformed. The planet will have various biomes for many different kinds of animals. These biomes will span 8 continents an several islands. To help out you must select 1 ground animal, 1 flying animal, 1 aquatic animal and on species of plant.

The Continents are as such

Paleozoa: It has biomes more similar to what was found in the Paleozoic Era
Mesonia: It has biomes more similar to the Mesozoic era
Eocenia: It has biomes more similar to the Eocene epoch
Oligia: It has biomes more similar to the Oligocene epoch
Miocenia: It has biomes more similar to the Miocene epoch
Plioia: It has biomes more similar to the Pliocene
Pleistonia: It has biomes similar to the Pleistocene epoch
Carbonifora: It has biomes more similar to the Carboniferous period.

The Oceans have regions that favor various aquatic lifeforms. From Arctic to tropical.

Now that you know the regions you will select the species. For each animal you must select at least 500 individuals if they are Predators and 5,000 individuals if they are Herbivores. Plants will be a standard bare minimum of 200,000.

So what will you select for your contribution?

Here are my choices:

I have a feeling this world's going to be way too long on predatory megafauna.

Land
Stenomylus gracilis, a tiny cameloid that more resembled a gazelle than a camel. Middlin' prey animal, early Miocene.

Swimming
Margaretia dorus, an odd duck that was first thought to be an ancient coral, then an ancient aquatic plant, before they decided that no, what they were thinking was a plant was actually a tubelike structure the wormlike creature built as its nest. Paleozoic era.

Flying:
Euglossopteryx biesmeijeri, an Apidae Bee because we're gonna need some pollinators. Eocene era.

Marpolia
A green algae with some characteristics of cyanobacteria. Forms a solid basis for plankton. Very early Paleozoic.
