What life forms existed in the silurian time period?
The Silurian went from 443.4 ± 1.5mya to 419.2 ± 3.2mya. It spanned from the conclusion of the Ordovician period to the beginning of the Devonian period. However the exact time frame of the Silurian period is unknown and could be off by millions of years because of the fact that that period was set during a significant extinction event. Therefore, the Silurian period lasted about 42 million years, give or take.
