The creodonts, which first appeared in the Paleocene, were among the first mammals to specialize in carnivory. [141] The coastal region of the southeastern states, like Alabama [ 142 ] and Mississippi [ 143 ] were covered in seawater and home to the primitive whale Basilosaurus during the Eocene.
Bryozoans form colonies consisting of clones called zooids that are typically about 0.5 mm (1 ⁄ 64 in) long. [18] Phoronids resemble bryozoan zooids but are 2 to 20 cm (1 to 8 in) long and, although they often grow in clumps, do not form colonies consisting of clones. [19]
Cyclostomatida, or cyclostomata (also known as cyclostomes), are an ancient order of stenolaemate bryozoans which first appeared in the Lower Ordovician. [1] It consists of 7+ suborders, 59+ families, 373+ genera, and 666+ species. The cyclostome bryozoans were dominant in the Mesozoic; since that era, they have decreased. Currently ...

Sharks first appeared in the mid Devonian period, and are extremely rare to find anywhere.

The Chazy Reef Formation is a mid-Ordovician limestone deposit in northeastern North America. It consists of some of the oldest reef systems built by a community of organisms [ 1 ] rather than the deposit of a limited range of similar organisms, such as Stromatolite mounds deposited by ancient cyanobacteria.
Bryozoans, once thought to not appear in the fossil record until after the Cambrian, are now known from strata of Cambrian Age 3 from Australia and South China. [ 116 ] The fossil record as Darwin knew it seemed to suggest that the major metazoan groups appeared in a few million years of the early to mid-Cambrian, and even in the 1980s, this ...
