Summary

Description
English: Historical reconstruction of the Lower Pennsylvanian biota of coal swamps of North America, including life reconstructions of tetrapod vertebrates Hylonomus, Dendrerpeton, Hylerpeton, and Baphetes.
Original description accompanying the image, by its author: “On the left hand Baphetes Planiceps is seen emerging with a ganoid fish in its jaws. Next Dendrerpeton Acadianum is represented slowly walking up the inclined shore, and leaving its hand-like footprints thereon. A little farther Hylonomus Lyelli is leaping in pursuit of an insect and Hylonomus Wymani stands a little more in the foreground, while Hylerpeton Dawsoni is disporting itself in the water in front [...] In the middle ground of the picture I have placed a bank of soil, showing a section of a hollow trunk, similar to those in which the reptile bones of the Joggins occur, and on this bank and in the distance, I have endeavored to give some of the characteristic forms of vegetation of the period: Ferns, Cordaites, Sigillaria, Lepidendron [sic!], Lepidophloios, and Calamites.”
