The Paleozoic Era spanned from 542 to 252 million years ago and witnessed major changes in life on Earth. At the start of the era, diversity among life exploded. Plants became widespread and the first vertebrates colonized land. Marine life evolved significantly and began colonizing continental areas. However, temperature fluctuations led to many extinctions as climates and continents shifted dramatically. This volatile period saw many predator lineages emerge but also the largest mass extinction in Earth's history due to climate change and low sea levels. Recovery took 30 million years into the next era.

In the beginning of Life.Around 200 million years from about
542 to 252 M.A. (million years ago).At the boundary between Ediacran and Cambrian,the Earth witnessed a sudden appearance of diversity in life.The one supercontinent break up and the formation of another. Plants became widespread. And the first vertebrate animals colonized land. Marine life, including reptiles, amphibians, and arthropods, evolved a lot, and consequently got introduced to the continental portions. The flora consisted of various kinds of gymnosperms, like coniferous trees and ferns,that many of it are not seen in present times. As at first they enjoy the average global emperature,but nothing last forever it began to exceedingly high.As the massive temperature fluctuations as continental masses shifted around the Earth's surface.The different organisms survival are also turning and dribbling. Predators includes nautiloid and ammonoid cephalopods, phyllocarids, decapods,several lineages of gnathostomes and others organisms who want to survive was battling ang hunting for the other predators and their prey. But it took the end because of the changing of climate and exceptionally low sea levels that makes the largest extinction in Earth history. That took 30 million years of the next era to recover.Some survives,others become organisms that ones exist in Earth histoty.
