A drawing of the creatures from the Ordovician Period

The Silurian Period (443 to 417 million years ago)

As temperatures rose again, the glaciers melted and flooded some continents. There are many fossils
of land plants dating back to this period, as well as fossilized echinoderms such as the sea lily, arthropods

such as sea scorpions, and various species of jawless fish and armored fish, as well as a number of species
of spider.

The Devonian Period (417 to 354 million years ago)
Crinoid from the Silurian Period
Countless fossil fish date back to this period.
During the Devonian, a kind of "mass
disappearance" took place and certain species
became extinct. This mass disappearance
affected coral reefs, with stromatoporoids (a

form of reef-forming coral) disappearing
entirely.
But there is no difference between the

thousands of fossil fish that lived during the
Devonian Period and many species of fish living
today. This, once again, is important evidence
that living things have undergone no changes
over the course of millions of years, and that

there can be no question of their having evolved
gradually.
