See what Earth looked like from space when it was ruled by dinosaurs
Take a gander at what the Earth looked like at different points in history with this interactive 3D globe.
Here's what our planet looked like over 370 million years ago, according to the website Ancient Earth Globe.

Ever wonder what the Earth looked like before humans came along and added pollution and man-made destruction to the mix?
The 3D interactive website called Ancient Earth Globe lets you glimpse the world from space during the age of the dinosaurs -- and more. Seeing the Earth at various points in geological history, from 750 million years ago to today, is an eye-opening activity to say the least.
The website allows you to see the entire globe as it slowly rotates, or zoom in to see closer details of land and oceans. There's also an option to remove clouds for an even better look.
Go way back to 150 million years ago for a look at the Earth during the late Jurassic period. At this time the earliest lizards were appearing and primitive mammals were starting to evolve. Dinosaurs also dominated on land.
