In the Silurian period, marine life flourished, including corals, brachiopods, trilobites, and early fish. Land plants were also diversifying, with the first appearances of vascular plants and the colonization of land by early arthropods.
No. The Carboniferous Period (359 - 299Ma) lasting 60 million years was 9.6 million longer than the Jurassic Period (251 - 199.6Ma) which lasted 51.4 million years.In order of longest to shortest:-Rhyacian(2,300 - 2,050Ma) - 250 million yearsOrosirian(2,050 - 1,800Ma) - 250 million yearsCryogenian(850 - 630Ma) - 220 million yearsSiderian(2,500 - 2,300Ma) - 200 million yearsStatherian(1,800 - 1,600Ma) - 200 million yearsCalymimian(1,600 - 1,400) - 200 million yearsEctasian(1,400 - 1,200Ma) - 200 million yearsStenian(1,200 - 1,000Ma) - 200 million yearsTonian(1,000 - 850Ma) - 150 million yearsEdiacaran(630 - 542Ma) - 88 million yearsCretaceous(145.5 - 65.5) - 80 million yearsCarboniferous(359 - 299Ma) - 60 million yearsDevonian(416 - 359Ma) - 57 million yearsJurassic(199.6 - 145.5) - 54.1 million yearsCambrian(542 - 488Ma) - 54 million yearsTriassic(251 - 199.6Ma) - 51.4 million yearsPermian(299 - 251Ma) - 48 million yearsOrdovician(488 - 443Ma) - 45 million yearsPaleogene(65.5 - 23.3) - 42.2 million yearsSilurian(443 - 416Ma) - 27 million yearsNeogene(23.030 - 2.588Ma) - 20.442 million yearsQuaternary(2.588Ma - Now) - 2.588 million years
These are periods in the geologic timescale, spanning from 145 million years ago (Cretaceous) to 443 million years ago (Ordovician). Each period represents a distinct time in Earth's history characterized by specific events and changes in life forms, such as the extinction of dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period or the diversification of marine life in the Ordovician period.
The names of the three eras of the Phanerozoic are Paleozoic (ancient life), Mesozoic (middle life), and Cenozoic (recent life). These names reflect the progression of life forms and major events that occurred during each era.
