Life During the Paleozoic Era

http://www.tmwmedia.com/physical_geography2.html

Watch an excerpt from this fantastic and informative program in the Physical Geography II series, from TMW Media.

Explore the Paleozoic Era from the Cambrian time - over 600 million years ago. Look at common fossils found in the United States and investigate the origin of these animals and how Paleontologists have classified them according to their various characteristics. Students will discover the fossils record, artists' drawings and dioramas of life in the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Mississippian, Pennsylvanian and Permian Periods. Discover plant life, marine life and land life including diatoms, algae, mosses, ferns, cycads, brachiopods, trilobites, crinoids, insects, reptiles, ammonites, sharks and fish. This program also discusses mass extinction theories and shows how the continents have moved.

Not yet or at least there seems to be no evidence to support the theory.

Of course, Adam and Eve were eating Trilobites before that, um, fatal apple incident. :-)

Not a one. Also, plants didn't appear on land until about 470 million years ago during the Ordovician period. Ref: Wellman, C.H., Gray, J. (2000). "The Microfossil record of early Land Plants"

So it 850 mya that eukaryotes first appeared

Thank you for such easy to understand information.
