Dunkleosteus terrelli, a large fish found in Ohio Paleogeographic reconstruction showing the Appalachian Basin area during the Middle Devonian period. During the early Devonian only eastern Ohio was still covered by the sea. Ohio was located near the equator. Brachiopods and echinoderms still remained in the area during the Early Devonian. [3]
Dunkleosteus. Dunkleosteus is an extinct genus of large arthrodire ("jointed-neck") fish that existed during the Late Devonian period, about 382–358 million years ago. It was a pelagic fish inhabiting open waters, and one of the first apex predators of any ecosystem. [ 1]
Nobles Pond site is a 25-acre archaeological site near Canton in Stark County, Ohio, and is a historical site with The Ohio Historical Society. It is one of the largest Clovis culture sites in North America. At the end of the Ice age, about 10,500 to 11,500 years ago, a large number of Paleo-Indians, the first people to live in Ohio, camped at ...
Well-represented in both freshwater and marine fossils since the Devonian, they are now represented by only two extant marine species in the genus Latimeria: the West Indian Ocean coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae), primarily found near the Comoro Islands off the east coast of Africa, and the Indonesian coelacanth (Latimeria menadoensis).

There is evidence of Paleo-Indians in Ohio, who were hunter-gatherers that ranged widely over land to hunt large game.
Selected Paleozoic taxa of Ohio. Fossil of the Middle-Late Ordovician giant trilobite Isotelus. Life restoration of the Carboniferous-Permian amphibian Phlegethontia. Life restoration with a conifer-like body plan of the Silurian-Late Devonian tree-like probable fungus Prototaxites. John William Dawson (1888).
Leedsichthys is an extinct genus of pachycormid fish that lived in the oceans of the Middle to Late Jurassic. [ 1] It is the largest ray-finned fish, and amongst the largest fish known to have ever existed. [ 2] The first remains of Leedsichthys were identified in the nineteenth century. Especially important were the finds by the British ...
