The Devonian (/ d ə ˈ v oʊ n i. ən, d ɛ-/ də-VOH-nee-ən, deh-) [9] [10] is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era during the Phanerozoic eon, spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the preceding Silurian period at 419.62 million years ago (), to the beginning of the succeeding Carboniferous period at 358.86 Ma.

The Early Devonian is the first of three epochs comprising the Devonian period, corresponding to the Lower Devonian series. It lasted from 419.62 ± 1.36 to 393.47 ± 0.99 and began with the Lochkovian Stage 419.62 ± 1.36 to 413.02 ± 0.99 , which was followed by the Pragian from 413.02 ± 1.36 to 410.62 ± 0.99 and then by the Emsian , which ...

Early depictions of this animal show it emerging onto land, however paleontologists now widely agree that it was a strictly aquatic animal. [62] The genus Eusthenopteron is known from several species that lived during the Late Devonian period, about 385 Ma.
In Late Devonian vertebrate speciation, descendants of pelagic lobe-finned fish such as Eusthenopteron exhibited a sequence of adaptations: Panderichthys, suited to muddy shallows; Tiktaalik with limb-like fins that could take it onto land; early tetrapods in weed-filled swamps, such as Acanthostega, which had feet with eight digits, and Ichthyostega, which had limbs.
Pneumodesmus newmani is a species of myriapod.It is originally considered that it lived during the late Wenlock epoch of the Silurian period around 1] [2] [3] However, a 2017 study dates its occurrence based on zircon data analysis as the Early Devonian (). [4]
