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.

Pawpawsaurus: Lower Cretaceous: herbivore: Nodosaur that was unearthed in Texas. Priconodon: Lower Cretaceous: herbivore: Nodosaur from Maryland found only from fossilized teeth.

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.

Currently, excavation is being conducted by the Missouri Ozark Dinosaur Project. [4] [15] The site has been covered to prevent water from flowing over dig material. [11] [15] The Chronister dig site near Glen Allen, currently under private ownership by Stinchcomb, [12] who purchased the site from the Chronister family in the early 1980s. [15]
Hypsibema missouriensis (/ ˌ h ɪ p s ɪ ˈ b iː m ə m ɪ ˌ z ʊər i ˈ ɛ n s ɪ s /; [1] originally Neosaurus missouriensis, first renamed to Parrosaurus missouriensis, [1] [2] also spelled Hypsibema missouriense [3]) is a species of plant-eating dinosaur in the genus Hypsibema, and the state dinosaur of the U.S. state Missouri.
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.
Figure 1:In mammals, the quadrate and articular bones are small and part of the middle ear; the lower jaw consists only of dentary bone.. While living mammal species can be identified by the presence of milk-producing mammary glands in the females, other features are required when classifying fossils, because mammary glands and other soft-tissue features are not visible in fossils.
