Cockroaches

Jurassic/Cretaceous
Scale 2 Diat: omnivore , Hierachy 2

Cockroaches existed before pterosaurs and dinosaurs. The first fossils of modern cockroaches appeared in the Early Cretaceous period. Point Value:Ptero Tidbit: When scientists find a small pterosaur they try to determine whether it was a juvenile or an adult member of a small species of pterosaur.

Ammonite

Cretaceous
Scale 4 Diat: omnivore , Hierachy 2
Despite their large shells that could grow up to seven feet across, these predatory, squid-like shellfish were capable of swimming.  Point Value: Ptero Tidbit: Pterosaurs are close cousins of dinosaurs, but evolved on a separate branch of the reptile family tree.

Dragonfly

Jurassic/Cretaceous
Scale 2 Diat: herbivore , Hierachy 2

Dragonflies are among the fastest and most ancient flying insects in the world! Point Value: 2 Ptero Tidbit: Pterosaurs were neither birds nor bats. They were flying reptiles that lived between ~220 and ~66 million years ago.

Lycoptera

Jurassic/Cretaceous
Scale 3 Diat: carnivore , Hierachy 2

Fossils of these small freshwater fish have been found in large groups suggesting they congregated in sandbars. Point Value: 2 Ptero Tidbit: Pterosaurs were the first animals after insects to evolve powered flight—not just leaping or gliding, but flapping their wings to generate lift and traveling long distances through the air.

Gingko

Cretaceous
Scale 4 Diat: photosynthetic , Hierachy 1

The fan-shaped leaves of this ancient ginkgo tree, now, extinct, are similar to modern ginkgo leaves. Point Value: Ptero Tidbit: When pterosaurs walked, they tucked in their wings. The fourth finger was connected to the hand by a roller joint, so the wings could fold like umbrella spokes.
