''The Age of Reptiles'' is a [[{{Paintings}} fresco mural]] at Peabody Museum of Natural History at [[UsefulNotes/IvyLeague Yale University]], created by Russian-American artist Rudolph F. Zallinger (better known for his [[ParodyOfEvolution "March of Progress" illustration]]). It depicts the evolution of reptiles as understood at the time of its creation (1947), from the first terrestrial vertebrates to the famous dinosaurs of the Late Cretaceous. It's the TropeMaker for many depictions of dinosaurs.

** To be expected from an artwork over 75 years old.

Not to be confused with the comic ''ComicBook/AgeOfReptiles'', though the latter's naming maybe a reference to the mural.

* GenerationalSaga: Rather then a human familt, its about the entire clade of reptiles evolving over millions of years. It helps for a while it was the single biggest painting ever made.

->It's Art/TheMonaLisa of paleontology, the most talked about piece of dinosaur artwork that has ever been created. But really, it's more akin to Art/TheBayeuxTapestry, because it tells an epic tale of conquest.
