A group of paleontologists have created a very extensive ecosystem for an alternate Earth where the Chixulub meteor was much smaller and most families of large animal life forms were not wiped out, but instead continued to evolve.

Their very extensive website has a few broken links to some of the illustrations and discussions of particular species, but I believe they are in the process of moving to a new hosting site, so things may be in a state of flux. Even with the occasioanl broken link, it is an amazing site and a lot of fun.

I found the link throught the Tetrapod Zoology weblog, which has become one of my favorites. I haven't really enjoyed Natural History magazine and Scientific American for a few years, but some of the science blogs are filling the gap in my data intake.

Now I just need to find some good online links on history and archaeology.
