During the Devonian Period the first fish evolved and amphibiansbegan to walk the land, and the first arthropods like insects and spiders also started to multiply. The first seed-bearing plants began to develop huge forests. In the oceans, the first sharks,deepolped.,along with the first lobe-finned and bony fish. The first ammonite mollusks, and trilobites, appeared the mollusk-like brachiopods, as well as great coral reefs were still very well known.
