Meaning of "paleozoic" in English

The term "Paleozoic" refers to a geological era that occurred approximately 541 to 252 million years ago, following the Precambrian and preceding the Mesozoic eras. This era is significant for the development of diverse marine life, the formation of major land masses, and the emergence of the first vertebrate animals and plants, including fish and early land plants. It is divided into six geological periods: Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian. The Paleozoic era was crucial in shaping Earth’s biosphere and laid the groundwork for future biological evolution.
