Target entity: Devonian
Context triple: [Old Red Sandstone, geologicAge, Devonian]
  • A. Paleozoic Era
    The Paleozoic Era was an ancient geologic time interval, spanning roughly 541 to 252 million years ago, marked by the emergence and diversification of complex life in the seas and on land and the assembly of major continental landmasses.
  • B. Jurassic Period
    The Jurassic Period was a major division of the Mesozoic Era characterized by warm climates, the dominance and diversification of dinosaurs, and the early evolution of birds.
  • C. Mesozoic Era
    The Mesozoic Era was a major geological era, often called the "Age of Reptiles," during which dinosaurs dominated the land and the supercontinent Pangaea broke apart into modern continents.
  • D. Cretaceous
    The Cretaceous was the final period of the Mesozoic Era, marked by high sea levels, diverse dinosaurs, and ending with the mass extinction that wiped them out about 66 million years ago.
  • E. Proterozoic Eon
    The Proterozoic Eon is a major division of Precambrian time, spanning from about 2.5 billion to 541 million years ago, marked by the buildup of atmospheric oxygen, the emergence of complex single-celled and early multicellular life, and the assembly of large continental landmasses.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
