During the Silurian Period, which lasted from approximately 443 to 419 million years ago, North Carolina was situated near the equator, in the southern part of the ancient supercontinent Gondwana. The region was primarily covered by shallow seas, leading to the deposition of marine sediments. The geological features from this period in North Carolina include limestone and other sedimentary rocks formed from the remains of marine life. Over millions of years, tectonic activity and erosion have significantly altered its position and landscape.

The Silurian period followed the Ordovician period.
Why were corals a dominant life-form during the silurian period?
fish
Was there any volcanoes in the Silurian Time Period?
Yes, there were volcanoes present during the Silurian Period, but they were not as widespread or active as in some other periods. Volcanic activity during the Silurian likely contributed to changes in the Earth's climate and the composition of the atmosphere.
What was the evolutionary process during Silurian?
The Silurian period started off with a mass extinction of 60% of all marine life. During the Silurian bony fishes evolved setting the stage for the Devonian, which is referred to as the "Age of the Fish".
What was the temperature like in degrees during the Silurian time period?
95 degrees
What dinosaurs were in the Silurian era?
The Silurian period spans from 443 to 419 million years ago. The earliest dinosaurs evolved 231 million years ago. That means there were no dinosaurs at all during the Silurian.
