With land still barren, nearly all complex life existed underwater, forming strange, highly diverse marine ecosystems. 00:00 What Was Life Like During the Silurian Period? 02:38 Earth 430 Million Years Ago Looked Like This 06:00 The First Plants and Animals on Land 09:32 Pterygotus – The Apex Predator of Ancient Oceans 13:29 Trilobites: The Most Successful Arthropods of the Paleozoic 18:29 The Most Unusual Eurypterid Ever Known Was Hibbertopterus 21:23 Cooksonia: The First True Land Plant 24:46 Nothing About Mixopterus Was Normal.
