This list of the Paleozoic life of Missouri contains the various prehistoric life-forms whose fossilized remains have been reported from within the US state of Missouri and are between 538.8 and 252.17 million years of age. There is no Permian age rocks on the surface in Missouri, so beware of any fossils identified as such in the state.
On land, early flowering plants were blooming in the state. [3] The fossil of the hadrosaurid dinosaur Parrosaurus have been found in Bollinger County. In fact, fossils of Parrosaurus are among the only known dinosaur remains in the state. [3] The Mississippi embayment still covered part of Missouri during the early Cenozoic.

During the Early Cretaceous, new dinosaurs evolved to replace the old ones. Sauropods were still present, but they were not as diverse as they were in the Jurassic Period. Theropods from the Early Cretaceous of North America include dromaeosaurids such as Deinonychus and Utahraptor, the carnosaur Acrocanthosaurus, and the coelurosaur Microvenator.

New remains of Parrosaurus, including dental remains [9] and part of a jaw, were found, [10] and remains of other dinosaurs, fish, turtles, and plants have also been found, including teeth belonging to a member of the Tyrannosauroidea.
