Hi Answer:
The details of fossils and their time perid is given in table below:
Sr. No | Name of fossil | Time peroid |
1 | Acanthodian | Appeared in Silurian Period and lasted into the Early Permian (about 438 to 258 million years ago) |
2 | Agnostid (order of trilobites) | Early Cambrian period and thrived during the Middle Cambrian (about 252 million year ago) |
3 | Ammonite | Devonian Period ((began 419 million years ago) to the Cretaceous Period (ended 66 million years ago) |
4 | Brachiosaurus | mid- to late Jurassic Period (155.7 million to 150.8 million years ago ) |
5 | Cockroach (order of insects) | Carboniferous period (55 million year ago) |
6 | Edaphosaurus | late Carboniferous to early Permian periods. (300 to 280 million years ago) |
7 | Eurypterid | mid Ordovician to late Permian(467.3 to 252 million years ago) |
8 | Ginkgo | Pliocene peroid ( about 2.5 million years ago) |
9 | Glossopteris | Permian and Triassic periods (roughly 300 to 200 million years ago |
10 | Oak (tree with broad leaves) | The Cretaceous Period (125 million years ago) |
11 | Opabinia | Middle Cambrian, (approximately 505 million years ago) |
12 | Placoderm | Devonian Period (about 416 million to 359 million years ago) |
13 | Smilodon | Pleistocene and early Holocene epochs (about 10,000 years ago) |
14 | Wiwaxia | Early to mid Cambrain |
