You can suggest lineages that weren't mentioned on the flora/fauna topic here.
Remember, be realistic with what can be present on the island. Also watch out for things that might swim/fly away from the island.

Projects and concepts that I have stewing around Extended Pleistocene- An alternate future where man died out, and the megafauna would continue to thrive (may or may not include a bit about certain future sapients) Inverted World- An alternate timeline where an asteroid hit during the Barremian, causing an extinction event before the Maastrichtian. Dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and notosuchians make it to the present, along with a host of other animals. Badania- Alien planet that has life at a devonian stage of development, except it exists in the present day. Ido- Alien world where hoppers (derived flightless ballonts) and mouthpart-legged beasts are prevalent. Leto- Life on a moon orbiting a gas giant with an erratic orbit; experiences extremes of hot and cold. The Park- ??? Deeper Impact- a world where the K-Pg extinction wipes out crocodilians, mammals, and birds; squamates, choristoderes, and turtles inherit the earth. World of Equal Opportunity- alternate history where denisovans come across Beringia and interact with native fauna. Much of the Pleistocene fauna survives, and the modern humans that end up crossing into North America do not overhunt the existing animals. 10,000 years later, civilizations exist that are on par with European and Asian societies. The Ditch- Nothing is what if seems..

Yes, pterosaurs and birds probably being a common one.

I would be wanting penguins, turtles (for in the rivers and/or mangroves) and some kind of pidgeon We already have turtles; the australocheylids (no wikipedia page, only for australochelys).
Anyway, it would be nice to see you people say your reasoning behind your choices rather than just sprouting names. Still I approve of penguins, azhdarchids and dimorphodonts; as long as they are within reason of course.

-I'd go with Dimorphodonts because they were widespread Pterosaurs in the Early Jurassic, and were not powerful fliers, but rather gliders and probably hunted their prey on the ground. I'd really love to do something with them. -Azhdarchids: Because Azhdarchids. 'Nuff said.

Not exactly, but I understand the point I guess.

I'd have to go to reread the Mark Witton book, but I'm pretty sure he mentioned Dimorphodontids taking prey on the ground rather than on the wing.

Carnivorous plants from the Eocene? I've got a concept for one.
Gracilisuchids and/or Spenosuchians would be nice, as they have a generalized body plan and much predatory potential.
Basal Sauropterygians from the Triassic would help with coastal waters.
Lastly, Passerines, Confuciusornithiformes, and Enantiornithes to fill bird niches.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

Well since flying animals could come in from at anytime this would be some of my suggestions.Anseriformes and galliformes could have some interesting species and a few small paleognaths too.We could also have hylid frogs, rafting from the mainland.

There's already many predatory theropods, so keep that in mind. However I'm leaning more towards sphenosuchians (>tfw not monophyletic) given their broader range. The closest gracilisuchids to were the island would of split off is in where today would be China. Having both might be too much, remember this is an island: not a continent.There would of been poposauroids before, but nooOOOooo. Yes I'm still a big butthurt about them.

Coastal waters are dangerous territory, things can escape relatively easily. Plus there's already nothosaurs.

They're probably going to be on the island anyway.

See, there's the problem. As said here, you should do research before you even think of posting a concept, especially what the ancestors/relatives are.
