Paleozoic Era- Geologic & Biological Evolution and Largest Mass Extinction Ever | GEO GIRL

Major events of the Paleozoic era (542 million years ago - 251 mya)- Taconic, Acadian, Alleghenian, Ouachita, Antler, and Sonoma orogenies (leading to the Appalachian, Ouachita, and Cordilleran mobile belts), paleogeography, Pangea supercontinent formation and effects of climate (possible cause of mass extinction), biological evolution / paleontology of both invertebrates and vertebrate animals as well as plants, Tiktaalik, lobe-finned fish, first amniotes, synapsids, diapsids, anapsids, predecessors to mammals, index fossils for the paleozoic, and the Great Dying (the largest extinction event of earth history: the end-Permian extinction or the Permian-Triassic extinction).
