This list of the Paleozoic life of Illinois contains the various prehistoric life-forms whose fossilized remains have been reported from within the US state of Illinois and are between 538.8 and 252.17 million years of age.
During the Ice Age, Illinois was subject to glacial activity. At the time the state was home to creatures like giant beavers, mammoths, mastodons, and stag mooses.

Its range includes most of the western and north central parts of the United States as far east as Illinois. In the east, it coexists with R. flavipes, R. virginicus and R. hageni, and south of Lake Michigan, its range overlaps with that of Reticulitermes arenincola. It mostly occurs in deserts and arid locations such as prairies with hard ...
