Ok, a very (?) hard one.

Terry Pratchett, Adolf Hitler, Mick Jagger, David Attenborough, Tobey Maguire. Not an exhaustive list.
Terry Pratchett has an asteroid and a fossil turtle
Adolf Hitler has a beetle and a lot of man-made things
Mick Jagger has an extinct water pig
David Attenborough has lots - fossils, plants, weevils, insects, and spiders
Tobey Maguire has a spider - which is not extinct

I can't pick anything that relates to all of them, although spiders and extinct things come close.

Well, I'll give it to you.

They've all had more than one species named after them.

Both are Australian natives ... but I guess you want more than that?

It's just BIG chicken.

Both plants became commercial plantings in the US (macadamia in Hawaii, eucalypts in California).

I've run out of ideas for this thread. I've been hunting on Braingle but I'm still not inspired. Sorry. 😳

They all have twin towns/sister cities?
