  The correct order of evolution is snail, fish, dinosaur, pig. Do you need any more information such as timing of different evolutionary points?

  [ snail [ Fish [ Dinosaur + Pig ]]]
  If I recall correctly snails would have diverged from the other three close to the Cambrian period (~570 MYA, though likely before), and Dinosaurs arose in the Triassic (~250 MYA, sometime after) so fish would have to have diverged from the other chordates between 570 and 250 MYA… Pigs, being a modern mammal, would have come about sometime after the dinosaur extinction 65MYA… I’m sure someone else can give you a better answer (google/wikipedia is usually good) but this is a start…
