PIX4662112: Dorygnathus - Dorygnathus at altitude - Flight of dorygnathus over a forest at the beginning of the Jurassic 180 million years ago. This pterosaur had a wingspan of about 1 metre. Like all pterosaurs, dorygnathus is a flying reptile, not a dinosaur. A flock of Dorygnathus soars high over a rugged, Early Jurassic European landscape of Wollemi Pine approximately 180 million years ago. Dorygnathus had a wing span of about 3 feet and its large, curved fangs suggests that it dined primarily on fish. Like all pterosaurs, Dorygnathus was a flying reptile, not a dinosaur (the flying descendents of the dinosaurs live on today as birds) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4662151: Dimorphodon on the beach - Dimorphodons on the edge of the ancient ocean Tethys. Dimorphodon (Dimorphodon macronyx) is a pterosaur belonging to the family dimorphodontidae and living in the lower Jurassic, between 200 and 180 million years. He had a beak like a puffin. The dimorphodon was about 1 metre long, with a wingspan of 1.4 metres. Winged Dimorphodon pluck fish from the Early-Jurassic Tethys Ocean 195 million years ago in what it is today England. While Dimorphodon's coloration is unknown, here the adult males have been given colorful heads inspired by modern day puffins and toucans. Dimorphodon was a medium-sized pterosaur (flying reptile) with a wingspan of about four feet and a large head and puffin-like “” beak.”” Its long front teeth suggest that it was built for plucking fish from near the surface of the water. Dimorphodon also had a long tail, the end of which is speculated to have sported a soft tissue vane for enhanced stability during flight / Bridgeman Images

The borders are added. Two dust plumes blow toward the southwest, one plume stretching possibly 150 kilometers (95 miles) off the coast, and the other plume forming an arc that reaches all the way to Cape Verde. Although this image shows dust immediately off the coast of West Africa, a layer of dust from storms such as this often travels virtually intact to the other side of the Atlantic. This layer of dry, hot, dusty air is called the Saharan Air Layer. Terra satellite took this natural - color picture on June 22, 2009. Borders have been added / Bridgeman Images

PIX4659236: Le Piton de la Fournaise, Ile de la Reunion - Piton de la Fournaise, Reunion island - Le Piton de la Fournaise seen by satellite EO - 1 on 16 January 2009. This shield volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Considered one of the world's most active volcanoes, Piton de la Fournaise occupies the east - southeastern end of Reunion Island in the western Indian Ocean. It is a shield volcano with a low, broad shape that resemble an ancient warrior shield. The volcano sports an 8 - kilometer - (5 - mile -) wide crater that slopes eastward to the coast. Within that crater sits a lava shield, Dolomieu, and most of Piton de la Fournaise's historic eruptions have occurred from the summit or flanks of Dolomieu. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on Nasa's Earth Observing - 1 satellite captured this image of Piton de la Fournaise on January 16, 2009. Dolomieu is the circular feature at the center of the large crater. Lava flows from earlier eruptions have left their marks around Dolomieu, in the form of dark rivulets of rock that head mostly eastward towards the shore. On the west side of Dolomieu, few dark rivers of rock appear, as most lava flows have curved towards the north or south. Little vegetation thrives near Dolomieu, but farther away from the lava shield, vegetation appears bright green / Bridgeman Images
