The Paleozoic Era has always been my favorite Era, I have always imagined on traveling back to the carboniferous period back when oxygen level were 15% higher and ride scorpions the size of wolves while listening to Marty Robbins "El Paso" just pimping around the carboniferous swamps

Haha you and I have very different dreams. I, for one, am very glad we do not have scorpions big enough to ride anymore lol. But I am glad you enjoyed the video! :)

Thanks so much for this video!!! It was soooo informative and it helped me out so much with an 8th grade science project I was working on. This video made everything so clear and I can't thank you enough!!!

Good and informative presentation. I am always fascinated by how scientists have these theoretical landmasses and how they formed. I wonder how they are able to guess where Laurasia was or where Gondwana began. Interesting stuff. Thanks for this vid!

In terms of where the land masses were, you can look at climatic signatures in the rocks/life on the landmasses. Easy to see Gondwana spent a lot of time around the poles due to abundance of glacial deposits, lack of marine fossils; and the opposite is true for Laurentia: lots of marine rocks and fossils, lack of widespread glaciation.

Your videos are fantastic! Just found you by chance today and I keep watching them.

g-d Dylan is a Paleontologist. My favorite Era. Thank geo Girl. I live in Denver, CO.

Good presentation. Thanks.

hey Rachel, that paleozoic paleogeographic summary is awesome! love visual charts and graphs with geologic events over time. super cool. is that slide downloadable? do you have one of a geologic graph but to scale with geo and bio events on it?

Love your videos :)

I suppose, Rachel, that if you could've been able to time travel you'd visit the Devonian to do some fishing😉😁.

1 correction. Turtles are actually diapsids just like all other extant reptiles. They’re used as an example of the anapsid condition today because they lost the holes in their skull over time, but they’re not actually descended from ancient anapsids which have no living descendants. Aside from that little nitpick, excellent video!

Great video! I can talk about the Cretaceous Western interior seaway (wis) all night! Till the sun comes up 😊😊

Love ❤️ evolution I know this period and they said the Cambrian animals are the ancestors of humans heard that before and fish 🐠 is the ancestors of humans

Can I ask? Where did life exist during the early part of the paleozoic era?

@GEOGIRL

What a great question! Actually, life was only (or mostly) in the ocean in the Early Paleozoic to our knowledge. It wasn't until later in the mid Paleozoic that land plants evolved and made the terrestrial realm more habitable (which I mention in the early Paleozoic video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYSMktR7hLytaMo.html), which is also around the same time that animals began walking on land (tiktaalik transition, which I mention in the earth history song here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZICdtZh-aZvOgqw.html). However, it is possible that bacteria, archaea, fungi, and even non vascular plants like mosses could have made the transition sooner, but likely had to stay near a body of water. So I guess that true answer to your question is we are not totally sure, but the general consensus is what I mention above. Hope that helps! :)

scientists have attributed the eyes of a trilobite to be, "the greatest living lens. The trilobites' eyes were different than most creatures' eyes because they were composed of materials that could be studied even after being fossilized. Most creatures' eyes dissolve after death: tilobites eyes did not. When scientists began studying these eyes, they were amazed at what they found. Humans have only one lens in each eye. But trilobites had two lenses in each of their many eyes. In order to see clearly under water, it was necessary for them to have this "double lens" in each eye. If their eyes did not have two lenses, things would probably have appeared distorted. The scientists discovered that the lenses were so perfect that there would have been no distortion at all. Since trilobites are considered to have been one of the first creatures to evolve, it would make sense (from an evolutionary point of view) to suggest that they possessed fairly primitive features. Yet the eye of the trilobite is anything but primitive! How could this "perfect eye" be found in an "early" animal like trilobite? And how could it have been so well designed?

It wasn't one of the earliest things, to evolve, nor was it 'designed' We humans have no sense of the scale of deep time.

"Don't know if I'm sayin that right .... But it happened...."😂 Science without levity is a curse.... the depths of which are only matched by the heights attainable with science as an ally.... Religions are proto sciences.... In the separation.... Humor was lost. And EITHER without levity is counter productive. Faith in the fact that, despite our inability to ever know some things, nevertheless, they happened. Faith in the fact that it's all here and all works.... Is by definition faith in creation.... Idk why or how is all here or why it all works.... Even if I've discovered the GUT! And run it through computing technology millions of years in our future......... I still don't know how it all works, or why it's here.... Have faith. Make humor intelligent again. Acknowledge our limitations and embrace the fact that even if no human ever wrote a letter or cracked a book, We are here and we can laugh at ourselves.... If we're smart....
