What lived in the age of Paleozoic?
The most noteworthy feature of Paleozoic life is the sudden appearance of nearly all of the invertebrates animal phyla in great abundance at the beginning of the Cambrian. A few primitive fish like invertebrates, and then vertebrates , appeared in the Cambrian and Ordovician, scorpions in the Silurian period, land invertebrates and amphibians in the Devonian, land reptiles in the Carboniferous, and marine reptiles in the Permian. All reptiles increased in number and in variety by the late Permian. The plant life of the Paleozoic era reached its climax in the Carboniferous, and was then much diminished in the Permian.

When did reptiles start to evolve?
About three hundred million years ago. "The origin of the reptiles lies about 320-310 million years ago, in the steaming swamps of the late Carboniferous, when the first reptiles evolved from advanced reptiliomorph labyrinthodonts. The oldest trace of reptiles is a series of footprints from the fossil strata of Nova Scotia, dated to 315 million years ago. The tracks are attributed to Hylonomus, the oldest known reptile in the biological sense of the word. It was a small, lizard-like animal, about 20 to 30 cm (8-12 in) long, with numerous sharp teeth indicating an insectivorous diet." (According to Wikipedia)
