| Reverse description | A vividly colourized depiction of a Liopleurodon, a large marine predator of the Middle Jurassic period, is shown in the foreground actively pursuing a squid above a detailed coral bank rendered in naturalistic colour. An ichthyosaur is depicted in the mid-to-background waters, conveying a sense of depth and prehistoric marine environment. The legend PREHISTORIC LIFE and the subject identification LIOPLEURODON appear prominently, accompanied by the geological date range 166-163.5 MIO YEARS BC. A geological timeline legend along the lower arc references the TRIASSIC, JURASSIC, and CRETACEOUS periods with their respective date ranges, and the year 2022 also appears in the design. |
