Artist interpretation of a Devonian swamp forest scene. Artwork by Eduard Riou from The World Before the Deluge 1872. The Silurian-Devonian Terrestrial Revolution, also known as the Devonian Plant Explosion (DePE) [1] and the Devonian explosion, was a period of rapid colonization, diversification and radiation of land plants and fungi on dry lands that occurred 428 to 359 million years ago ...
One important event in this period was the initial establishment of terrestrial life in what is known as the Silurian-Devonian Terrestrial Revolution: vascular plants emerged from more primitive land plants, [12] [13] dikaryan fungi started expanding and diversifying along with glomeromycotan fungi, [14] and three groups of arthropods ...
During the Late Silurian and Devonian, land plants, assisted by fungi, [45] [46] underwent a hugely significant phase of evolution known as the Silurian-Devonian Terrestrial Revolution. [47] [48] Their maximum height went from 30 cm at the start of the Devonian, to 30 m archaeopterids, [49] at the end of the period.
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 Milford Haven Group is a late Silurian to early Devonian lithostratigraphic group (a sequence of rock strata) in west Wales. The name is derived from the estuary and town of Milford Haven in south Pembrokeshire. The Group comprises calcareous marls with occasional sandstones along with conglomerates and breccias. [1] [2]
n November 1954, 29-year-old Sammy Davis Jr. was driving to Hollywood when a car crash left his eye mangled beyond repair. Doubting his potential as a one-eyed entertainer, the burgeoning performer sought a solution at the same venerable institution where other misfortunate starlets had gone to fill their vacant sockets: Mager & Gougelman, a family-owned business in New York City that has ...
Drepanophycales is an order of extinct lycophyte plants of Late Silurian to Late Devonian age (around ), found in North America, China, Russia, Europe, and Australia. Sometimes known as the Asteroxylales or Baragwanathiales.
