  1. "Kind" is kind of vague.  For example, fish, amphibians, reptiles (including birds), mammals and lots of other "kinds" of critter had representatives alive then as well.  That can't be said for any extant mammal genus or species, but there were placentals, marsupials and monotremes.  You'd really have to be more specific than an undefined word like "kind".


  2. yes a fish, well it's ancestor

  3.     unfortunately some of those old creatures are not alive now.Trilivobites where one of those fishes that was alive and it was one of the first animals wich had bones.

       Dikieen sonia was also one of those fishes that was amazing and the hight of this animal was about 60 centimiters.An other one was dankeleousteous. The hight of this animal was something about 6 meters and the teeth of this animal was like a bone.

    And Diplokaouloos was an amphibian animal wich had a head as same as boomerangs and it help the fishes to swimm faster.

  4. There are none.  Even those that are credited with "little change" over the past 65m years have changed enough to be quite distinguishable from those living back then - this includes sharks, crocodiles, coelocanths, dragonflies, etc.

    This is the nature of DNA/RNA-based (ie: all) life and is the reason that evolution is inevitable.

  5. Sharks and cockroaches have been around for that long.

    The coelocanth, a lobe-finned fish thought to have been extinct for millions of years, was accidentally "re-discovered" in the early 1900's. Scientists have now documented two distinct populations of coelocanths.
