Explore the Paleozoic Eon, an era stretching from 541 to 252 million years ago, a time when Earth witnessed an explosion of life and the formation of the ultimate supercontinent!

This video delves into the main periods:

The Cambrian Explosion: A rapid diversification of life, featuring the emergence of hard-shelled creatures like the Trilobite and the terrifying apex predator Anomalocaris.

The Devonian Period (Age of Fish): Witnessing an unparalleled diversification of marine life and the critical move of life onto land, including the development of seed plants and the appearance of the first Tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates) such as Acanthostega.

The Carboniferous Period: An era of gigantic forests that generated the highest oxygen levels in Earth's history, allowing insects and Arthropods to grow to enormous sizes (Meganeura).

The Formation of Pangea and "The Great Dying": Discover the relentless convergence of continents to form the Supercontinent Pangea. This era abruptly concluded with the most catastrophic extinction event in Earth's history, the Permian–Triassic Extinction Event (The Great Dying).

Watch to understand how Earth transformed from a vast ocean world into a single supercontinent, reshaping the planet and the life upon it.
