(In order from oldest period to youngest)
Cambrian- 54 million years
Ordovician- 44 million years
Silurian- 28 million years
Devonian- 57 million years
Carboniferous- 60 million years
Permian- 48 million years
The Paleozoic Era Lasted about 2799. You can add all the numbers of the: Permian, Carboniferous, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, and the Cambrian. Add all of there numbers of how long each era lasted. So that's how long the Paleozoic Era Lasted ("2799")
397 million years old
The main characteristic that distinguishes the fossil record of the Paleozoic Era from the Precambrian Era is the appearance of diverse and complex multicellular organisms in the Paleozoic Era. In the Precambrian Era, the fossil record primarily consists of simpler single-celled organisms. Additionally, the Cambrian Explosion, which occurred at the beginning of the Paleozoic Era, marked a significant increase in the diversity of life forms.
397 million years old
The first period in the Paleozoic Era was the Cambrian.
During the early Paleozoic era, marine invertebrates such as trilobites dominated. In the middle Paleozoic, fish and early land plants became more prominent. By the late Paleozoic, amphibians, reptiles, and forests of ferns and seed plants were thriving.
Precambrian is 87.6% Paleozoic is 7.1% Mesozoic is 3.9 % Cenozoic is 1.4 %
The Paleozoic Era
The Cenozoic Era is the most recent geologic era and has lasted for around 65 million years, making it the longest era to date. During this era, mammals diversified and dominated the Earth's ecosystems.
there are different periods in each era. In the Cenozoic era, there are 2 periods, Quaternary and Tertiary. Mesozoic era has 3 periods, Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic. Paleozoic has 7 periods, Permian, Carboniferous, Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, and Cambrian. Precambrian is just the present, no time periods in it.
