I was told about a wonderful paleontological data base which lists all the
families of the kingdoms and their range of occurrence. I got it and have
been analyzing it. The most amazing thing I found is that among the
chordates (animals with back bone which excludes any middle manager of any
american corporation) only three of the 660 living families have
representatives prior to the Mesozoic. These are the Chimaeridae( a fish),
and the Rhabdoleuridae and Cephlodiscidae (hemichordates). No living famil=

of reptiles, mammal or bird exists from those parts of the geologic column.
The examples from those times are not the same species we have alive today=
