Description
Next step of the travel into the past.

The 500 pageviews special bring us into the Silurian period, 415 millions years ago.
Tropical reefs are common at this period and several type of coral cover the sea ground. We can meet the terror of the silurian period, a giant
sea scorpion named Pterygotus with his impressive size of 2,3 m long (7 feet). Two Orthoceras are escaping. Thoses ancient nautiloids, fish eater, were also able to reach a big size, from severals cm to 1,8 meter (6 feet) long. We can also see a group of jawless fish, Thelodus, in the background. Jawless fish are now very diverses and several have a body cover with plates.
Some of the last Trilobites are moving on the primitive sea's ground.
At the end of the Silurian period, 60% of marine species disapeared.

For the color...I tryed to do my best with my mouse and the Photoshop layers... Thanks for the 500 pageviews. Next step: (if I'm still around...) Devonian period.
