This list of the Paleozoic life of Indiana contains the various prehistoric life-forms whose fossilized remains have been reported from within the US state of Indiana and are between 538.8 and 252.17 million years of age.
Indiana's fossil record stretches all the way back to the Precambrian. Microbe fossils of this age are known from the state. [1] Later, during the Cambrian period, Indiana was located in equatorial latitudes. Indiana was also covered by a warm shallow sea. [2] This sea was home to brachiopods, trilobites, and sponges. [1]
The Paleozoic swamps had tree-like lycopsids that grew up to 30 m (98 ft), [2] and even 50 m (160 ft) in height. [3] These lycopsid plants were anchored by an extensive network of branching underground structures with root-like appendages attached to them.
Lycopodiopsida is a class of vascular plants also known as lycopsids, [1] lycopods, or lycophytes. Members of the class are also called clubmosses , firmosses , spikemosses and quillworts . They have dichotomously branching stems bearing simple leaves called microphylls and reproduce by means of spores borne in sporangia on the sides of the ...
This is a list of U.S. state dinosaurs in the United States, including the District of Columbia. Many states also have dinosaurs as state fossils , or designate named avian dinosaurs ( List of U.S. state birds ), but this list only includes those that have been officially designated as "state dinosaurs".

It is well preserved and common in the fossil record. Like other Lepidodendrales, species of Lepidodendron grew as large-tree-like plants in wetland coal forest environments. They sometimes reached heights of 50 metres (160 feet), [1] and the trunks were often over 1 m (3 ft 3 in) in diameter. They are often known as "scale trees", due to their ...
