there were no dinosaurs
The first period in the Paleozoic Era was the Cambrian.
That would be 251 million years ago. The end of the Paleozoic era marks the beginning of the Mesozoic. The last period of the Paleozoic era was the Permian, and the first period of the Mesozoic era was the Triassic; hence the extinction event (the biggest extinction event in the earth's history), the Permian-Triassic extinction, which defines the border between the eras.
The Paleozoic Era
paleozoic era
Yes. The Mississippian period is a part of the Paleozoic era, along with the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian periods.
i cant answer this :(
Paleozoic
No, the Paleozoic era is the first of three eras in the Phanerozoic eon. It spans from around 541 million years ago to 252 million years ago. The following era is the Mesozoic era, which is the second era in the Phanerozoic eon.
The Paleozoic Era is also known as the age of ancient life.
The Cambrian Period was from about 543 to 490 million years ago. It is the earliest period in the Paleozoic ("old life") Era. Until relatively recently paleontologists thought this marked the beginning of life. Primitive life is now know from the Pre-Cambrian Eon.
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.
Reptiles first appeared during the Paleozoic Era, specifically the Carboniferous System of the Paleozoic Era. That was about 320 million years ago.
