Ordovician (Paleozoic, Phanerozoic, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The second period of the Paleozoic, following the Cambrian and preceding the Silurian. It extends from about 448 to 443 million years ago. It is marked by a significant radiation of marine life and the first colonization of land, by nonvascular plants. |

Dutch ..... De tweede periode van het paleozoïcum, na het Cambrium en vóór het siluur. Het duurde van ongeveer 488 miljoen tot 443 miljoen jaar geleden, en werd gekenmerkt door een sterke uitwaaiering van het mariene leven en de eerste kolonisatie van het land, door de niet-vaatplanten. |
