The period before the Carboniferous period is known as the Devonian period, which lasted from approximately 419 to 359 million years ago. During the Devonian, often referred to as the "Age of Fishes," diverse marine life flourished, and significant evolutionary advancements occurred, including the emergence of early land plants and amphibians. This period set the stage for the extensive terrestrial ecosystems that would develop in the Carboniferous.
