What Was Life Like During the Ordovician Period?

The Ordovician period lasted about 45 million years and saw the transition from very primitive to relatively modern life-forms in the seas. The “Ordovician radiation” which followed the late Cambrian extinctions, lead to a tripling of marine diversity, the greatest increase in the history of life, and giving the highest levels of diversity seen during the Paleozoic Era.

[@GreenPoint_one]

Werent ancient fish filter feeders insted of predator, I mean they had no jaws yet

[@suruxstrawde8322]

Jawless doesn't mean they didn't have killing mouths, it just means any of them that could've been predatory, didn't use their bones to kill. Lampreys and hagfish are both jawless and don't filter feed.

[@GreenPoint_one]

@@suruxstrawde8322 true 🤔 Wasnt their a conodont or something that was a jawless predator?

[@suruxstrawde8322]

@@GreenPoint_one oh idk myself, just saying given the jawless creatures of today it's definitely not outside their potential.

[@trilobite3120]

2:50 Technically Radiodonts now, not Anomalocaridids

[@gregwasserman2635]

Good ol' conodonts! I learned a lot about them in grad school from Dr. Stig Bergström and Dr. Walt Sweet. Also learned a ton about crinoids from Dr. Bill Ausich. I don't think "Echmatocrinus" is a crinoid but more closely related to a cnidarian.

Live and learn! I love learning new things daily and making videos on that.
