UV rays from the young Sun penetrate the thick atmosphere, casting a dramatic light over a vast ocean, symbolizing a ‘prebiotic soup’ rich in organic compounds essential for early life. The scene evokes the hostile yet life-enabling environment of early Earth

Colorful dinosaur footprints in orange, green, and purple are arranged in lines across the sky, resembling a pattern of tracks. The ornithopod looks up at the theropod, which appears to be roaring, as they both stand on an icy terrain under a clear blue sky.
