Brachiopods which are mollusk-like marine animals appeared during the Cambrian (540 to 500 mya). Some types of them still survive

Grapolithina which are widespread colonial marine hemichordates that also lived during the Cambrian period.

Nanofossils are microscopic fossils which are remains of calcareous nannoplankton, coccolithophores from various eras

Trilobites were common during the Paleozoic Era (540 to 245 mya); about half of the Paleozoic fossils are Trilobites. Trilobites evolved at the beginning of the Paleozoic Era and went extinct somewhere in the late Permian period which was 248 million years ago
