    It spans from the formation of Earth around 4600 Ma (million years) ago to the beginning of the Cambrian Period, about 542 Ma, when marcoscopic hard-shelled animals first appreaded on earth.

  • Paleozoic Period

It formed the coal beds of Europe, and Eastern North America. Big sophisticated repitles, and the first modern plants had also developed during this time period.

  • Mesozoic Period
