That shark looks like it’s crossed with a circular saw. Home Improvement Shark.

I am kinda partial to Labarinthadonts which look like the love child of a alligator and frog...

Clearly an evolutionary dead end... and we’re all better for it.
To: Red Badger
#2 above looks awfully like a precursor to the alligator or crocodile.

I had that prehistoric mammals book. There were some really dopey looking animals back then (in the eyes of the artist, anyway).

Had that book back in the mid-sixties! The How and Why series was great!

Can you imagine how many errors there are in old books like these at this point. Still, I’m sure a fair amount remains true. Anyway, resources like these were real mind openers for curious kids, introducing them to whole new worlds. Got me started. And I’ve been hooked ever since.

Excellent choice of five attention getters. Helicoprion, the buzsaw give me the willies. There are a lot of strange creatures in the Burgess shale by modern standards as well as Hallucigenia.
