Life originated in the early seas less than a billion years after Earth was formed.
Yet another three billion years were to pass before the first plants and animals appeared on the continents. Life's transition
from the sea to the land was perhaps as much of an evolutionary challenge as was the genesis of life. What forms of life were able
to make such a drastic change in lifestyle? The traditional view of the first terrestrial organisms is based on megafossils -
relatively large specimens of essentially whole plants and animals. Vascular plants, related to modern seed plants and ferns, left
the first comprehensive megafossil record. Because of this, it has been commonly assumed that the sequence of terrestrialization
reflected the evolution of modern terrestrial ecosystems. In this view, primitive vascular plants first colonized the margins of
continental waters, followed by animals that fed on the plants, and lastly by animals that preyed on the plant-eaters. Moreover, the
megafossils suggest that terrestrial life appeared and diversified explosively near the boundary between the Silurian and the
Devonian periods, a little more than 400 million years ago.
Recently, however, paleontologists have been taking a closer look at the sediments below this Silurian-Devonian geological
boundary. It turns out that some fossils can be extracted from these sediments by putting the rocks in an acid bath. The technique
has uncovered new evidence from sediments that were deposited near the shores of the ancient oceans - plant microfossils and
microscopic pieces of small animals. In many instances the specimens are less than one-tenth of a millimeter in diameter.
Although they were entombed in the rocks for hundreds of millions of years, many of the fossils consist of the organic remains of
the organism. These newly discovered fossils have not only revealed the existence of previously unknown organisms, but have
also pushed back these dates for the invasion of land by multicellular organisms. Our views about the nature of the early plant and
animal communities are now being revised. And with those revisions come new speculations about the first terrestrial life-forms.
