The Age of Reptiles Mural in the Peabody Museum, Yale University Artist: Rudolph F. Zallinger The Age of Reptiles extended over 300 million years. In the mural, six successive stages of North American earth history are shown in panorama from right to left. On the other side of this card you will find a key to the names of the plants and animals that flourished until the close of the reptilian age, some 65 million years ago. Dots above the names will assist you in locating the plants and animals in the mural. Names in light-face type are those of plants; names in bold-face type are those of animals. A 6¢ U.S. postage stamp, issued May 6, 1970, reproduces a section of the mural. LETTER FIRST CLASS K Pub. by H. K.
