The 'Inostrancevia' lived in the Permian Era before the age of dinosaurs.

The gorgons, were the top predators of the time.  The extinction of animals like these enabled the dinosaurs to evolve.  The skeleton of Inostrancevia is the most complete one available and it is customised to reflect new ideas on what these animals were like.
