List of the prehistoric life of Hawaii

This list of the prehistoric life of Hawaii contains the various prehistoric life-forms whose fossilized remains have been reported from within the US state of Hawaii.

Since the oldest of the Hawaiian islands is a little more than 5 million years old,^[1] the Paleobiology Database records no known occurrences of Precambrian, Paleozoic, or Mesozoic fossils in Hawaii.

This list of the Cenozoic life of Hawaii contains the various prehistoric life-forms whose fossilized remains have been reported from within the US state of Hawaii and are between 66 million and 10,000 years of age.
