Givetian

The Givetian is a subdivision of the Middle Devonian period, roughly 387 to 382 million years ago. It represents a specific slice of Earth's geological history marked by particular rock formations and fossil records. During this time, significant developments occurred in marine life, including the diversification of fish and the early appearance of terrestrial plants. The Givetian helps geologists and paleontologists understand Earth's evolutionary and environmental changes during the Devonian era, offering insights into ancient ecosystems and climate conditions.
