I roamed the oceans long before the first dinosaurs, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian periods. As an ancient arthropod, I am distantly related to today's insects and spiders. My name means "three lobes," a reference to the three segments of my body: a head, a middle, and a tail. The fossils you find of me are often not my complete body, but rather my discarded molted exoskeletons.

was a shelled, cephalopod mollusk, making me related to modern squid and octopuses. My shell was most often coiled in a tight spiral, and as I grew, I added new, larger chambers to it. Though I survived several mass extinctions, I was wiped out along with the non-avian dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. Because of my rapid evolution, my fossilized remains are often used by scientists to date rock layers.

  1. I was an ancient, armored fish that lived in the Devonian period, over 100 million years before the first dinosaurs. Instead of teeth, my powerful jaws had razor-sharp bony plates that worked like a pair of self-sharpening scissors. With a massive, bony-plated head, I was an apex predator in the ancient seas, though my overall body was likely much shorter and more "chunky" than originally thought.

I am a large woodpecker, sometimes called the "Lord God Bird" for the exclamation people made upon seeing me. I once inhabited the old-growth forests and swamps of the southeastern U.S. and Cuba, but deforestation decimated my habitat. My bill is pale and my plumage is a striking black and white. Though my crest is black if I am a female, a male of my species has a black-outlined red crest. I am a symbol of loss and conservation, and despite some disputed sightings in the 21st century, the last universally accepted sighting of me was in the 1940s.
