Oklahoma was a terrestrial environment for most of the ensuing Mesozoic era. [3] The Late Triassic Dockum Group of western Oklahoma preserved remains of archosaurs and temnospondyls, although its fossil record is restricted to a narrow region of the panhandle and is far sparser than the equivalent records in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

This list of the Paleozoic life of Oklahoma contains the various prehistoric life-forms whose fossilized remains have been reported from within the US state of Oklahoma and are between 541 and 252.17 million years of age.
It depicts Oklahoma’s state fossil, the large carnivore Saurophaganax maximus challenging a representation of the largest known Apatosaurus (92 ft), reconstructed by upscaling smaller apatosaur fossil specimens to match the largest known pieces currently preserved in the Sam Noble Museum’s vertebrate paleontology collection.
Urmetazoan: The first fossils that might represent animals appear in the 665-million-year-old rocks of the Trezona Formation of South Australia. These fossils are interpreted as being early sponges. [7] Multicellular animals may have existed from 800 Ma. Separation from the Porifera lineage.
