Silurian period
Hailey Profant
Geology
Plate tectonics continued to move the continents during the Silurian. The southern continent of Gondwana moved farther across the South Pole, while Siberia, Laurentia and Baltica drifted around the equator. Laurentia and Baltica collided, and formed a new supercontinent, Euramerica
Climate
It was very cold when it first began, but by the middle it had begun to become much warmer, causing glaciers to melt
Plants & Animals
Plants & Animals
First Vascular plants appeared (Plants that could hold themselves up and could transfer water to other parts of the plant). More and more appeared, which increased the oxygen level, and allowed more bacteria to form, making more animals. It also gave the animals such as scorpions, millipedes, and other insects and amphibians a new habitat. First jawless / Saltwater fish appeared. Land animal fossils were found, but they were only insects. Dominant sea creature was the Sea Scorpion, which was up to 9 feet long
Environment
There were a lot of glaciers, but there was also a lot of water from the glaciers that had melted. There were also a few mountains from the recently collied land masses.
Sites to see
Large Reef systems, Glaciers, and Oceans would be beautiful places to go.
Make sure you bring....
Bring Hiking shoes, Swimming gear / scuba diving gear, rope and a pickaxe (for climbing glaciers), Also pack meat, because only herbivores, except the sea Scorpion existed, so they would not be attracted to it. Bring bottled water because salt water is dangerous to drink.
Pickaxe and Rope
You should bring this in case you would like to see the glaciers and mountains, because without a pick and rope, it would be extremely easy to slip and fall!
Food & Drink
Make sure you bring food and water. You should proably pack preserved meat so it stays good. It is also good to pack meat because only 3 animals were omnivores in the Silurian period. Bring bottled water as well so if you run out, you don't have to drink salt water, which is dangerous.
Scuba Gear
It is important to pack this because almost 90% of the world was water in the Silurian period!
Danger!
How ever beautiful this world may be, it can prove to be lethal. Large Oceans may present travelers with the possibility of drowning, the glaciers may prove to be dangerous if a travelers slips and falls, and the Sea Scorpion is not a friendly creature to encounter!
