Machairoceratops cronusi

It is named after the Greek word machairis meaning "bent sword" and the sickle or scythe-wielding Greek titan Cronus. In life, it likely reached 6-8 m (20-26 ft) in length and weighed 1-2 tons, half the weight of Triceratops.

Machimosaurus rex

Around 120 million years ago, there lived a monstrous marine crocodile relative named Machimosaurus rex. Its massive jaws could crush turtle shells and it terrorized the warm seas that covered what are now the deserts of Tunisia.

Macrauchenia patachonica

Macrauchenia (name meaning "long llama") was a long-necked and long-limbed, three-toed South American ungulate mammal, typifying the order Litopterna. In life, Macrauchenia resembled a humpless camel with a short trunk, though it is not closely related to either camels or proboscideans.

Megalonyx jeffersonii

This medium-sized ground sloth could grow to more than twice the size of a polar bear. It appeared in North America 10 million years ago and only went extinct 11,000 before present. Its species name is a tribute to President Thomas Jefferson, who coined the name Megalonyx which means "Large Claw" in 1797.

Growing as tall as 4.20 m (14 ft) tall, the giant camel Megatylopus is only slightly shorter than today’s fully-grown giraffes. It lived in North America 13.6 to 1.8 million years ago and its fossils have been found from North Carolina to California.

The Wollemi Pine is a critically endangered Australian plant which has been around since the beginning of the Jurassic. Back in the day, it would have lived with large herbivorous dinosaurs such as Muttaburrasaurus.

Mystriosuchus

Mystriosuchus was a phytosaur, a lineage of aquatic reptiles very similar but not closely related to true crocodilians. This species lived in the Late Triassic of Europe and show signs of being much more dedicated to an aquatic lifestyle than most of its relatives. Somewhat speculative details are a caudal fin like the later metriorynchid crocodiles and a soft tissue crest like some pterosaurs.
