Pangaea was formed during the late Paleozoic era, specifically in the Permian period, around 300 million years ago. It was a supercontinent that included almost all of Earth's landmasses.

The formation of Gondwana and Laurasia occurred during the Paleozoic era, specifically during the late Precambrian and early Paleozoic periods. Gondwana and Laurasia eventually merged to form the supercontinent Pangaea during the late 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.

Reptiles first appeared during the Paleozoic Era, specifically the Carboniferous System of the Paleozoic Era. That was about 320 million years ago.
Vertebrates first appeared during the Paleozoic era.
Warm, shallow seas covered much of Earth's surface during early Paleozoic time.

During the Paleozoic Era, Africa was part of the supercontinent called Gondwana. Gondwana was located in the Southern Hemisphere and covered present-day continents such as Africa, South America, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent. Africa was situated towards the center of Gondwana during this time.
The second era in geological time is the Paleozoic era, which lasted from about 541 million years ago to 252 million years ago. It is known for the evolution of early marine life, the colonization of land by plants and animals, and the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea. Major events during this era include the Cambrian explosion, the colonization of land by plants during the Silurian period, and the mass extinction at the end of the Permian period.
