Description
A while ago, I was experimenting with my own take on the classic speculative zoology scenario of the absence of a KT extinction event. The idea has never really left, and has continued to evolve. These are some basic ideas for the animals of Seiek as I continue to refine it. These were done sometime last year, so not all the ideas are 100% "canon" for the project anymore, but I figured I'd see what others think. Clockwise from top left:

One: A totally marine champsosaur, fillinf most dolphin-like niches.

Two: A representative of a group of flying primatomorphs. They aren't as skilled flyers as pterosaurs, birds, or bats, and mostly fill coastal fruit-eating or fishing niches, similar in some ways to rhamphorhychid pterosaurs. The picture species is a nocturnal coastal fisher.

Three: A typical modern tyrannosaur. Highly developed hearing, eyesight, and smell. Fill a variety of small to medium-sized predators and omnivores across most of the world.

Four: A member of Gracilecherididae, a group of eutherian mammals representing the largest mammalian carnivores. First evolved from arboreal weasel-like hunters in the Eoscene. Now fill a variety of small carnivore niches around the world. The pictured species is an arboreal predator of Central and South America.

Five: A semi aquatic eulipotyphan. I don't think I'm going to be using this concept any more... At least not with how it is now.
