  • Devonian Fossils: Discover the Trilobite and More!
    A very common Devonian fossil is the trilobite.

    While trilobites existed throughout the Paleozoic era (541 to 252 million years ago), they were especially abundant in the Devonian period (419 to 359 million years ago). This makes them a quintessential Devonian fossil.

    Here are some other common Devonian fossils:

    * Brachiopods: These marine animals with two hinged shells were very diverse during the Devonian.

    * Crinoids: These are "sea lilies" with feathery arms that were attached to the seafloor.

    * Coral: Many types of coral reefs flourished in the Devonian.

    * Fish: The Devonian is often called the "Age of Fishes," as many types of fish evolved during this period, including early sharks and bony fish.

    * Ammonites: These coiled cephalopods became more diverse during the Devonian.

    The specific fossils you're likely to find will depend on the location and the type of rock. However, trilobites are a good starting point for anyone looking for Devonian fossils!
