Time: The Paleozoic, Ordovician Period

My journal entry began when I started learning about the eras of geologic time like the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. Although the various time periods were all very interesting, I found the Paleozoic era to be the most fascinating.'Paleo' means ancient or way early times in Greek and therefore Paleozoic means ancient life. This era was divided into six major parts. These parts are named the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian periods. The Ordovician period lasted till 45 million years. It began 488.3 million years ago and it ended 443.7 million years ago. The early Paleozoic era started when the oceans overwhelmed the low-lying insides of the landmasses. The ancient Paleozoic climates were gentle. …show more content…
Laurella amazing class, I decided to hop in my time machine and go back 540 million years ago to explore the major events of the Paleozoic era. Once I reached the Paleozoic era, I looked around and saw all of the water. Eventually, I went to find the trilobites to get a sample of them so I could prove heir existence. Trilobites are fossil gatherings of terminated marine arthropods that shape the class Trilobita. Trilobites shape one of the soonest known groups of Arthropods. Arthropods are described as Crabs, lobsters, arachnids, centipedes, and millipedes—these animals all fit in with the phylum Arthropoda, the best gatherings of creatures on Earth. Then I was continuing my journey to search in of Paleozoic animals. Afterwards, I was walking and suddenly, my footsteps stopped on the hard layer. I thought it would be rocks. But then I thought again that I should just check that what type of rock it is. It was under the ground. So I tried to take it out. My robot was helping me too. I made the robot for taking samples, pictures, and videos. So, he tried to help me. And suddenly, I was so shocked. I was dying. That's how shocked I was, and guess what I found, I found a huge fossil of Permian. Permian is a Paleozoic animal that got extinct before 244 million years ago. Later Paleozoic oceans were ruled by crinoid and blastoid echinoderms, articulate brachiopods, graptolites, and organize and rugose corals. Before the end of the …show more content…
Amid this time, ice secured the northern piece of Africa, which was situated over the South Pole. In ancient times, the mainlands were far separated, yet moving tectonic plates made landmasses to move together into a vast landmass named Pangea. That all were major events. Then by time machine, I came back into my real life for telling you that this is all I found when I went back to Paleozoic era for my awesome and amazing journey. And thank you for letting me go back to different era because less people gets to go to new world. I liked more about this trip that I saw so many different types of creatures. And I found a fossils of the animals who lived during Precambrian time. I collected those samples. I saw many amphibians, and they were really cool. But some creatures were so dangerous because they were poisonous and we could die from it, and some were so huge that we had to look so up. Moreover, I tried to learn more and more stuff about the Paleozoic
