What is a fish
The Devonian environments had a widespread of shallow __ seas
What is marine (shallow seas)
Which plants expanded dramatically during the Devonian Period
What is Vascular Plants
Fish developed a specific feature to help them survive in shallow water
What are limb-like fins and adaptions for land
The Devonian saw a HUGE expansion of these vertebrates
Fish (mhmmm so yummy)
The Devonian Period occurred about...
Laurussia most likely located in this climate area
Tropical / subtropical
These structures helped plants absorb water AND stay land
Lungs
This fish had armor and was a top Devonian predator
Dunkleosteus
What era included the Devonian Period?
What is the Paleozoic Era
What is transgressions and regressions
what allowed internal water transport in water?
What is the Vascular Tissue
These structural changes increased survival in changing environments
Adaptions
This organism shows early transition from fish to land
Tiktaalik
What major transition in the vertebrate life started in the Devonian?
Moving from ocean to land
These environmental changes helped with the extinction events in some marine groups.
What is Climate and sea level change
The first evidence of these showed up in the Middle Devonian
What are forest
This evolutionary process was strongly driven by environmental change
Natural selection / evolution
This animal starts with a T
Trilobite (easter egg???)
