Time
๐ The Silurian Period lasted from about 443 to 419 million years ago!
๐ฑ During the Silurian, the first plants began to grow on land.
๐ Many kinds of fish with jaws started to develop during this time.
๐ The Silurian came after the Ordovician and before the Devonian periods.
๐ฆ Trilobites, which looked like tiny armored bugs, were common sea creatures.
๐ The climate was warm and had high levels of carbon dioxide, with no ice caps!
๐บ๏ธ The continents were not in their current positions and were closer together.
๐๏ธ Fossils from the Silurian help scientists understand the history of life on Earth.
๐ฆ The oceans had diverse ecosystems, with coral reefs providing homes for many sea creatures.
๐ The first true land plants helped change the Earth's surface during the Silurian.
