Ordovizium
Also known as Ordovician Period, Ordovician System
zweite Periode im Paläozoikum
AI overview
The Ordovician is a geologic period that occurred roughly 485 to 444 million years ago, making it the second major division of the Paleozoic Era. It matters because it represents a significant chapter in Earth's history when the planet's geology and life forms were evolving in important ways between the Cambrian and Silurian periods.

Das Ordovizium ist das zweite chronostratigraphische System (bzw. Periode in der Geochronologie) des Paläozoikums in der Erdgeschichte. Das Ordovizium begann vor etwa 485,4 Millionen Jahren und endete vor rund 443,4 Millionen Jahren. Es wird vom Kambrium unterlagert, die Schichten des Kambriums sind also die ältesten des Paläozoikums. Auf das Ordovizium folgt das Silur.
