The Habberton area also preserves a diverse invertebrate fauna from this time period. [5] During the early part of the Carboniferous, the Mississippian, Arkansas was home to a variety of marine invertebrates. [6] Later in the period, the northern region of the state was exposed as dry land by the gradual withdrawal of the sea.
Arkansaurus measured about 4.6 metres (15 ft) long and weighed about 380.5 kilograms (839 lb). [8] [9] Examination of the holotype consisting of a nearly complete right foot suggests that Arkansaurus was similar to most ornithomimosaurians of the Early Cretaceous, with the strong curvature of the foot claws being the only exception: most ornithomimosaurians had flat claws.

Dinosaurs evolved from more primitive reptiles in the aftermath of Earth's biggest mass-extinction event caused by extreme volcanism at the end of the Permian Period about 252 million years ago.
Texas is also good source of dinosaur remains from this time. [54] The oldest dinosaur remains in the eastern US are about 225 million years old. [55] So, dinosaurs had reached the east coast of the United States not long after they evolved in the first place. [56]
