Scientists have found an extremely rare fossil in Canada that is of an entirely new invertebrate species. This fossil is so significant that it has provided experts with very important information regarding the origins of multicellular animals. This newly identified fossil dates back to 375 million years ago during the Late Devonian Period. And it... Read more »

Scientists uncover mysterious mass extinction event that nearly wiped out sharks 19 million years ago More than 90% of all sharks suddenly disappeared and no one knows why. Credit: Pixabay. Sharks are some of the most resilient and successful predators in history, having been around for more than 400 million years ago. Believe it or not, sharks are actually older than trees, which didn’t appear in their familiar form — trunk and crown of leaves or fronds — until the Late Devonian, some 3...

Abstract The timing of regional deformation of the turbiditic Silurian–Devonian Hill End Trough in the northeastern Lachlan Orogen has been a contentious issue with one view ascribing the regional north–south folds and axial planar foliation to Middle Devonian basin inversion. Alternatively, it has been argued that given the low-angle discordance between Lower and Upper Devonian units on the Capertee and Molong highs, and the development of a dominant episode of folding mapped from the Hill...

Move over, Smokey Bear – the Ohio State Fairgrounds could soon be home to another, more historic icon. A life-size sculpture of a prehistoric fish is planned for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources natural history area at the fairgrounds in Columbus. The state’s Legislative Service Commission described Dunkleosteus terrelli as “an extinct species of arthrodire placoderm fish (armored, jawed fish) that lived in the seas that covered parts of Ohio during the Late Devonian period, abou...

3 APRIL 2021 Life was trying, but it wasnt working out. As the Late Devonian period dragged on, more and more living things died out, culminating in one of the greatest mass extinction events our planet has ever witnessed, approximately 359 million years ago.   The culprit responsible for so much death may not have been local, scientists say. In fact, it might not have even come from our Solar System. Rather, a study published in August last year, led by astrophysicist Brian Fields from the...

Sediment records shows new forests sparked the Devonian Mass Extinction There was a link between new growth and an explosion of plankton blooms Experts suggests new vegetation grew worldwide some 360M years ago This pushed new nutrients into the soil that trickled into oceans in waves It was enough to fuel plankton that grew to massive sizes around the globe The blooms then devoured all the oxygen, suffocating marine animals 

Nikk Ogasa, Contributor ( Inside Science ) -- Lub-dub. Lub-dub. Lub-dub. Like the pulse of a throbbing heart, death beat down upon the seas around 376 million to 360 million years ago. During this time over 70% of animal species disappeared, most of which lived in the ocean. These creatures perished in waves of extinction as oxygen levels in the water oscillated and the downward swings repeatedly suffocated the seas. It was the most devastating period of the Late Devonian Mass Extinction -- one...
