The Paleozoic Era The Paleozoic era lasted about 330 million years. It includes the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian periods. Index fossils of the first half of the Paleozoic era are those of invertebrates, such as trilobites, graptolites, and crinoids. Remains of plants and such vertebrates as fish and reptiles make up the index fossils of the second half of this era. A. Cambrian Period At the beginning of the Cambrian period (570 million to 500 million years ago) animal life was entirely confined to the seas. By the end of the period, all the phyla of the animal kingdom existed, except for vertebrates. The characteristic animals of the Cambrian period were the trilobites, a primitive form of arthropod, which reached their fullest development in this period and became extinct by the end of the Paleozoic era. The earliest snails appeared in this period, as did the cephalopod mollusks. Other groups represented in the Cambrian period were brachiopods, bryozoans, and foraminifers ( see Foraminifera). Plants of the Cambrian period included seaweeds in the oceans and lichens on land.

The Cenozoic Era B The most characteristic animals of the Ordovician period (500 million to 435 million years ago) were the graptolites, which were small, colonial hemichordates (animals possessing an anatomical structure suggestive of a portion of a spinal cord). The first vertebratesâprimitive fishâand the earliest corals emerged during the Ordovician period. The largest animal of this period was a cephalopod mollusk that had a shell about 3 m (about 10 ft) in length. Plants of this period resembled those of the Cambrian period. C The most important evolutionary development of the Silurian period (435 million to 410 million years ago) was that of the first air-breathing animal, a

Archaeology Study of past cultures through material remains. Articulated Joints still connected. Artifact An object made and used by humans. Biped Any two-footed animal. Bivalves An animal (such as a clam) that has a two-valved shell where both valves are the same size and shape. Also called Pelecypods. Blastoids A Mississippian fossil consisting of a ½- to 1-inch cup-like body that was attached at the base to a short stem. Each of these bodies were five-sided and had arms radiating from it. Usually only the fossilized bodies are seen today. Brachiopods (Lampshells) These sea creatures have two shells (called valves). One valve is usually larger than the other. The top of one valve will curl over the top of the second. This gives them an oil lamp shape. Some shells are smooth while others have ridges and grooves that radiate out from the middle of the hinge. Brachiopods are common in rocks of Cambrian to Carboniferous age. Bryozoans Aquatic, colonial animals with branching, mossy or fan-like growth. They resemble corals but have more complex nervous, muscular and digestive systems.
