Older than Dinosaurs

by: Dragana Miličić

Scientists believe that their ancestors settled the Earth more than 500 mil. years ago. At this time the whole life existed only in the water. There were only small creatures (microorganisms) on the coasts.

It means that branchiopods are older than dinosaurs, which appeared 300 mil. years later.!
