, Deinonychus
- Small, carnivorous dinosaur
- Relative to velociraptor
- Very different from other reptiles, and actually a little more similar to birds instead

Anomalocaris
- Gigantic shrimp
- From Cambrian period

Opabinia
- Small
- 6 eyes
- Has fins and legs
- From Cambrian period

Dunkleosteus
- Big jaw fish
- Teeth aren’t big however, just a big bone fish that consumes its prey
- One of the biggest bite forces of most animals during its time

Tiktaalik

Agnathans
- Jawless Fish
- They have teeth, just no jaws
- Earliest fish
- Really diverse
- Evolution of Jaws

Sarcopterygii
- Lobe-finned fish
- These guys have relatively small bones for muscular support
