AI overview

The Devonian is a major chapter in Earth's history that lasted about 60.7 million years during the Paleozoic era, occurring roughly 419 to 359 million years ago. Scientists named it after Devon in South West England, where they first identified and studied rocks from this ancient time period.

Das Devon (Aussprache: [deˈvoːn]) ist in der Erdgeschichte das vierte chronostratigraphische System bzw. die vierte geochronologische Periode innerhalb des Paläozoikums. Es begann vor etwa 419.2 Millionen Jahren und endete vor etwa 358.9 Millionen Jahren (siehe Geologische Zeitskala). Das Devon folgt auf das Silur und ging dem Karbon voraus.
