世界の様子 Environment |
The climate of Devonian was warm and mild. The water levels were high, and
much of the land lay submerged under shallow seas.
Plants and animals moved inland along the river at the foot of Caledonian
mountains running from north to south in the continent Euramerica.
Archaeopteris, the first true tree, made up the earliest forest.

生物 Life |
Armored jawless fish, agnathans, and jawed fish, gnathostomata,
thrived and the Devonian has been called "the age of Fish".
Some fish had limbs and moved from water to land.
In arthropods, primitive wingless insects appeared and spiders
and their kin diversified.

デボン期末の大量絶滅 The Late Devonian Mass Extinction |
Some estimates suggest that 82% of all species went extinct
about 360 million years ago.
"There is ""Siljan Crater"" in Sweden estimated to have been about 50km in diameter,
and which was formed 367 million years ago by a large meteorite impact. "
It is said that this caused mass extinction.
The Late Devonian cooling trend resulted in marine regression.
This caused marine life in shallow seas to go extinct.
