It is a new Month wich means i got to give you a brand New special on my Blog Today. I give you the Paleozoic Era!!!!! get it while it's hot.
The Paleozoic Era
The Paleozoic Era, meaning "ancient life" is the first of three eras that form a part of the Phanerozoic Eon, the other two periods being the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic. The Mesozoic is the age of the Dinosaurs and the Cenozoic is the era in which we now live. The Paleozoic Era spanned a longer period of time, from approximately 542 Ma to 251 Ma. Just as the Mesozoic is divided into periods (Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous), the Paleozoic Era is also divided. It contains six different periods which are:
Cambrian (542-488 Ma)
Ordovician (488-444 Ma)
Silurian (444-416 Ma)
Devonian (416-359 Ma)
Carboniferous (359-299 Ma)
Permian (299-251 Ma)

The Paleozoic Era is bracketed by two major events in earth's history. It began with an unexplained explosion in animal life and ended with the world's largest mass-extinction known to man. The causes of these great events are currently unknown and under debate.
