Vertebrate remains are decidedly patchy, particularly the terrestrial species.
Myriads of others, who were waiting in the wings (so to say) for terrestrial bodies when the last day came, would then assume terrestrial bodies.
Along with all terrestrial vertebrates, we need to be able to breathe.
There are overall reviews of natural terrestrial and marine sources and sinks, followed by more detailed investigations of more specialist topics.
Moreover, net terrestrial primary production isn't exogenously given and fixed; it depends in part on human activity.
Now, conditions local in space and time to terrestrial life, such as the period of the earth's rotation, are actually not universal but contingent.
The problem here is that in the terrestrial environment these external forces were never absent.
First, culture may be an ancestral state predating the cetacean split from their terrestrial ancestors.
