A few nice extinct animals images I found:
Ichthyosaur fossil, Royal Ontario Museum

Ichthyosaurs were sleek, dolphin-like creatures that lived in the dinosaur era. Like modern dolphins, they breathed air, but unlike dolphins, ichthyosaurs were reptiles. Ichthyosaurs are probably my favorite extinct animal.
This fossil was found in Dorset, England; in the ichthyosaurs' heyday, England was a warm, shallow sea, home to a large population, and its clay sea floor preserved and fossilized many ichthyosaurs.
Stone Mammoth and a small pigeon

The Stone Mammoth near the fountain. Norbert Font i Sagué was a Catalan geologist, speleologist and writer, who had the idea to exhibit great extinct animals with full size sculptures. This mammoth sculpture itself was made by sculptor Miquel Dalmau.
