Learn about life through time... Devonian

During the Devonian period (363-409 MYA) many new forms evolved. Small plants spread over the land and the first vertebrates to live solely on the land appeared. Arthropods abounded, including the first wingless insects and spiders. Beautiful brachiopods flourished in the oceans alongside ammonites, echinoderms and many new types of fish. Corals were also common.
