The Ordovician period
A Journey Back In Time
A major geologic event is....
A meteor shower happened about 470 millions years ago. That was middle of the Ordovician period. It did not associate with any major extinction event. We call the metoers the L chondrite. They proposed that a large asteroid transferred directly into a resonant orbit with Jupiter, which shifted its orbit to intercept Earth.
Event Information
The climate and environment
When you are in Ordovician period the weather is warm and wet. The swallow sea cover much of the earth . The sea levels rise up to 1,970 feet.Fun fact is the ice capes cover Africa. The massive glaicer that cover Africa is in the center of the supercontinents. This herald a 20-million-year ice age during which shallow, life-rich seas shank away.

The sea was filled with invertebrates. there were brachiopods, bryozoans,and graptolites. The Animals were teeth less and they were invertebrates.At the end of the Ordovician period life flourished. Fauna mostly took over the short food change. There wasn't that much life because of the ice capes or you could call an ice age.

Danger in the Ordovician period
After the the ice age killed most of the animals . There weren't many dangers. Also there is volcanoes along margin of the Iapetus Ocean.
