The Devonian is a geologic time period and system of the Paleozoic era spanning from 416 to 359 million years ago. It is named after rocks that were studied in Devon, England. It comes between the Silurian and the Cretaceous periods.
the PALEOZOIC era
From oldest to youngest: Cambrian, Devonian, Triassic, Jurassic.
The Devonian Period, which is about 417 to 354 million years ago, is in the Paleozoic Era. The most common shell fossils from the Devonian Period are those of Brachiopods, whose shells are symmetrical but unequal in size. Today they are mostly extinct.
The Carboniferous period marks the start of new life forms as organisms rapidly diversify while terrestrial life has been well-established during the Devonian period.

Which mass extinction? There have been five such events. The first one, the Ordovician-Silurian extinction event occurred before the Devonian. The Late Devonian event occurred during the Devonian. All other mass extinctions occurred after the Devonian.

The Devonian Period
The period, you mean? They first appeared during the Devonian Period.
From oldest to youngest: Cambrian, Devonian, Triassic, Jurassic.
The area of Devonian Gardens - Calgary - is 10,117.141056 square meters.
Fish and molluscs were the dominant creatures during the Devonian.
Fish first appeared in the Cambrian period, long before the Devonian.
Because in areas where the rocks are layered, the Devonian is found lower.
The period after the Devonian Period (416 to 359.2Ma) is the Carboniferous Period (359.2 to 299Ma).
The Devonian Period is sometimes referred to as the age of the fish. Forests and the coiled shell-bearing marine organisms known as ammonites first appeared early in the Devonian.
During the devonian time period most of land was under water.
