Pedigree: Devonian Period (Paleozoic Era)

The PEDIGREE of

Devonian Period (Paleozoic Era)

scaled fish, amphibians, land arthropods, giant ferns; (mass extinction at 372 M BC; then the 2nd Great Extinction (Hangenberg event) at 359 BC; the cause of this great extinction is unknown: there was a sudden brief collapse of the ozone layer caused by warming, and also devastation of shallow ocean life caused by glaciation in southern hemisphere; supernova is another conjectured cause)

Born: 416 M BC Died: 359 M BC
