The Permian period was about 280 to 248 million years ago. The dominant organisms in this time period were the amphibians because they were abundant. However, there were other organisms, such as synapsids, fish and invertebrates.

The Cambrian Period (542 - 488 Ma)

The start of the Cambrian was marked with the extinction of the first multi celled animals. This period saw the rise of invertebrate arthropods. Ammonites and giant scorpions such as Giganatis came to dominate Earth. This was also the period fish 1st evolved but they lived securely in the shadow of the more dominant arthropods. This period also was the 1st animals to walk on the land. Evidence from tracks left by arthropods show that they at times left the water to walk on the land.

The dominant marine/aquatic animals during the Devonian included the placoderm fishes, and important marine invertebrates included trilobites, nautiloids and the first ammonites. The first land animals were arthropods, including scorpions, spider-like and mite-like arachnids, primitive insects, and myriapods.
