Well, what scale is the extinction event if I ask? And is it caused by our current events rather than some extra thing? If so, one could look at what is dying out now and extrapolate it into the future for that, though some changes will occur over time to the extinction as well. It all depends on how far you're willing to go.

Forbidden3, may I use the Ontong Java for a project? Just don't expect it for a long time, because I'm focusing on Strange New World at the moment.

Yeah sure, no problem. Funnily enough, the plateau has even less above sea level land than Kerguelen, meaning there is potentially more to work with, though it is far less isolated, not far from either the Solomon Islands or New Guinea currently, though it was doubtlessly further south in prehistory if that's what you're going for. A few resources are here: wiki reference , size+location comparison mesozoic location and 3-d location for geological and perhaps climatological information.

Thanks! I'll do more research once Strange New World is done, though I've no idea how long that might take, maybe even more than a year.

Don't expect it to be done. Like, ever. Essentially all projects are intended to go on indefinitely, and if people want more, they get more. Either that or they're abandoned unfinished, something which happened to most of my projects that I've created.

I tend to get dis– Hey, look, an elephant!
Potentially an elephant
Fire into Ice, a project about life on a rogue planet ejected from our own Solar System. Check it out!
My spec evo YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/speculativeevolution
With personal experience as a raven, I am a major proponent of conserving all corvid species at all costs. Save the endangered Mariana crow here.
Please don't click. Seriously, what did I tell you? Come at me bro, come at me. That's it. I've REALLY had it now. One last chance to redeem yourself, or you will be burned in atheist hell, whatever the hell that means. This game is like Russian nesting dolls. Sorry, a bit of a tangent. Or should I say, a cosine? MWAHAHAHAHA trigonometry joke distraction. <insert octagon here>STOP</insert> Yer gold lies right around the corner. Or, you know, you could have clicked the "save the crow" link and found out without playing this game. Hey look, an elephant! Wait, didn't I already use that? Dragon this way… --> … and not the good kind. Please, seriously don't click this. Oudated meme warning! SECURITY BREACH I wonder who's actually reached this point. Okay, fine, here's the treat for those who seriously just wasted all their time doing this. Here it is. Just wait… Aha! Here! Erm… here! I promise. Seriously. Pinky promise. This is it. Just don't be surprised if it's a bit underwhelming. Well, someone ought to have a rick roll in their signature, and it might as well be me.

Yeah, I suppose, I just meant wait until I've done quite a bit of Strange New World before starting another project.

Thanks, Forbidden3! I have another project idea, though I'm already working on it, and it isn't actually spec evo. I'm sorry to say that it is another prehistoric zoo, but I'm quite pleased with it. And I do know that these sort of things kind of have a bad reputation round here now, since it has been done so many times. The zoo won't feature riduculously large animals, will be done realistically, and there will be lots of speculations about the behaviour of the prehistoric animals. The fact is, making a zoo full of prehistoric animals is not only great fun, but it is also a very good way of representing your speculations on dinosaur behaviour and appearances in an interesting form.

Sorry for double post, but I just had another project idea. I was just working on my lesser K-Pg extinction event project just now, and then I realised something. Everybody always does lesser or no K-Pg extinction events - but what about a project about a more severe K-Pg event? Now that would be interesting.

I have a couple:
-A group of dinosaurs are rescued from the K-T Extinction and introduced on a foreign planet as part of a terraforming process, but another group of animals is introduced as well: animals that look almost exactly like outdated reconstructions of dinosaurs. 30 million years later, the resulting descendants are then examined. -The respective ecosystems of Tyrannosaurus rex, Megalodon, Tylosaurus, Liopleurodon, Deinonychus, Spinosaurus, Velociraptor, Giganotosaurus, and Allosaurus are placed on a terraformed world to evolve together.

Quotes
Spoiler: click to toggle OctoSharkTaSaurus: WELP. HELL-O-PHANTS IT IS. Kamineigh: I was six and I had started having fantasies about this old crone dying. Sometimes by my own hand. YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG IF A SIX-YEAR OLD WANTS TO KILL YOU WITH THE SAME HANDS HE JUST USED TO MAKE A BLOCK TOWER. Parasky: No, he's right, they have a medical grade walrus at most hospitals for that sort of thing. Mr Mysterio, regarding yours truly: I'm learning things about you that I'm not sure I wanted to know. HangingThief: An otologist is only as good as his walrus Stealth_Rock: We have a discord for double penetration? Ichthyander: If your eyelids are massive enough to significantly affect the path of light in space, it is time to go sleep. Mr Mysterio: Glarn-Glarn, don't... don't fuck the cave baboons. Kamineigh: They lacked wings. Instead, they went around in modified pilot's gear and beat the shit out of people using maces. Parasky: No! We will not calm down! This is a serious argument over whether or not some long dead animal is in any way similar to a group of modern animals that they are descended from! THIS. IS. SEWIOUS. Lamna: Obvious typo, I'm never going to be popular in Belgium. Trex841: Interesting point. Valid counterpoint. Self-obsessed psychotic rant. Parasky: No ties. Begin genetically modifying crows until we have organisms that roughly resemble those in the competition, and then have them fight to the death to see who wins this competition. Alternatively, Cephalian and SabrWolf could fight to the death. But at the end of the day something will be fighting to the death for my amusement to determine the winner. Yellowdrakex: Is it alright to have an irrational fear of gliding snakes? They're snakes. FROM ABOVE. Kamineigh: See, you wouldn't be in this mess if you began a bloody revolution every time your leaders showed to unsatisfactory. Zihuatanejo: Somewhere in heaven, a very groggy, very confused angel has just woken up and is trying to figure out why a boisterous Australian man is poking it with a stick. Komodo: I'm sorry but in what alternative universe would thousands of zebras be sent back in time by some sort of illegal time travel group to change history and preparing them by making gigantic working animatronic allosaurs? Seriously, why? Parasky: Maybe y'all should move to America, where you can flex your freedom muscles. Sir Spookums: It's a game about children catching super powered monsters, stuffing them in tiny balls, and battling other strangers' monsters. What about that makes sense in regards to anything, mister Kam? Des Orages: Yi qi. Just when you think you've seen it all, nature screws us over once more. Kaminiegh: This is clearly an inaccurate statement. I'd never challenge the authority of an admin... Unless Paraksytron stubbed his toe and fell over. THEN I, STARSCREIGHM, WILL BECOME THE NEW LEADER OF OF THE DE-SPECU-CONS! Dragon: Is normal a good word to use for describing any of us? Velociraptor: I once dreamed I was trying to steal a flamingo. The flamingo was oddly calm about the whole situation. Kaminiegh: THAT'S IT, I'M KINKSHAMING. Flashman63: In its 4,600 year history, men from all eras, places and classes have been entering into the Library: from the ancient bearded sages of Sumeria and Chaldea, to the sober-minded Academics and Zoologists of the Victorian era, to the great warlord Cletus, an inbred hillbilly who just happened to be carrying his AR-15 around his County's Strip-Mall library. OctoSharktasaurus: Well, uh, it's a pseudo-tripedal, terrestrial subcontinental Madagascan Beaked Whale... Is that not obvious? It literally says it blatantly. Holben: Did you not add lamb's blood to your fruit juice and the crushed bones of an englishman to your salsa? It's not authentic if you don't. Kaminiegh: Shut up, Hybrid, stop ruining my chances of time-travelling and getting some Neanderthal tail! Mr Mysterio: Except maybe Canada. If ever there was a country that was hiding secret reserves of powerful alien technology, it's probably mine. HangingThief: If you answered mainly "yes," you are most likely a salamander. Unfortunately it is becoming harder and harder to tell these days. Monster: In vaguely related news, I've developed a fear of my sewing machine. WHAT ARE YOU STRANGE NEEDLEBEAST Mynxi: He sowed the seed, I merely pissed on it and saw what grew. Beetleboy: The moral of the story: never trust a catfish. Parasky: Speaking of original, note to self: write erotic classical Chinese literature fan fiction Bromance of the Three Kingdoms under pseudonym Tuck Chingle. Little: Starting playing DND, took all of an hour of gameplay until a yuri love-triangle was initiated. And no, it was not my fault. Corecin: If this is your first time with a lesbian love triangle in a DnD game than you don't even have to specify that you're starting out. Octo: Oh no now Little will enlighten with the deep and complex subject that is hentai lore. Beetleboy: It shows what kind of person I am that I'm seeking crush advice on a forum about creating fictional organisms. Corecin: I am not in the mood for looking up yuri because then the FBI agent monitoring my computer will judge me with reckless abandon. Blue_Komrade: Excuse me sir I am going to have to see if you have your membership card to the Misanthrope Club. Parasky: Ultimately, by the miracle of microbiology and biochemistry, I have accidentally added an additional month to my brew and created a Bavarian style hefeweizen rather than the American style wheat beer I planned, despite technically not having the correct ingredients. However because I wrote down what I did wrong its not a mistake it's actually science. Rebirth: I can't be the only one curious about what would happen if you spayed and neutered a male antechinus before it reached sexual maturity. Ebervalius: Laws? What kind of spooky cuckery is that? Parasky: Ah see, but that's just the thing, you thought that I thought that you thought that I had said you hadn't read it, when really I had said that you had said that you thought that I thought that you hadn't read it. So really it's Flisch's fault.

Perhaps it would be better to at least start planning the upcoming Ontong project rather than leaving it for some date after the others are finished- it is possible to work on multiple projects and still do well after all.

I had a similar idea, but it was about mammals and dinosaurs:
1- Terraform a foreign planet with clear landmasses.
2- Introduce dinosaurs to one and mammals to other.
3- See them diversify on the course of several million years.
4- Unite both landmasses
5- ???

Don't overwhelm yourself with too many projects, it can make it very difficult to invest in them.
