Both, of course. And every other non mammal. Because why not?
Except for crocodilians and sharks, because they've been around for as long. They just got smaller, and thank Darwin for that!

That kind of got me thinking what the oldest life-form still existing might be and a quick google has thrown up something called 'stromatolites', some form of bacteria which apparently have remained unchanged for 3.8 billion years.
This needs a lot more research than me googling it though.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Aren't stromatolites the same thing inhabiting Sharks Bay? I always thought that was funny:
"I'll be damned! Look at this bay. It's full of the world's oldest life forms."
"Cool. What should we call it?"
"Sharks Bay."
"..."
Then again, if I go for a swim at Stromatolites Bay and get eaten by a shark...
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I'm just jealous that I went hiking in Dorset and didn't even find an ammonite. Booh. But nice ankylosaur toe

I don't own any fossils, but where I work at Hamilton Pool, we have plenty laid into limestone that dates back to the Triassic[/size], on up through the K/T boundary, when the Niobrara Sea receded finally.

This ammonite impression is about 8 inches across.
