>Lystrosaurus
A fan, and personal, favorite.
The most interesting thing I know about Lystrosaurus is they managed to spread all over Pangaea and speciated into like a dozen different forms in a (geological) period of basically no time. I think the original form was like a marmot or a gopher(?) but the biggest was as large as a hippo.

>Tropical reef building bivalves that predated reef building corals
For some reason I became weirdly fascinated by the idea that the Triassic and Cretaceous (rudists?) had completely different reef building organisms than our own time period and brightly coloured coral reefs are a relatively modern species.
I heard coral had to evolve twice? And that our modern corals aren't related to ancient corals, but something that independently evolved twice? Has anybody else heard that?

>Kinda sad that there's only one species left, and that green fags and hippies act like it's a magic oriental super medicinal plant.
The only thing I know about Ginkgos is that fox from Animal Crossing has one of their leaves as a logo on his apron/store and it's an oddly kino design. It's simple, auspicious, it's a deliberate contrast to the 'normal leaf' the raccoon guy uses.
