The Devonian Period

Trilobites made a brief come back during this period, then populations dropped off again. Jawed fishes appear in the fossil record, and three substantial meteorite impacts recorded at the end of this time period, may have played a part in their demise. The end of this period also marks the end of the complex schizochoal eye system among trilobites.
