Blue Ridge
These Mountains contain metamorphic rocks like this Gneiss. These formed under very high pressures and temperatures as North America and Europe collided 320 million years ago.

Bald Knob 1
This picture was taken from the top of Bald Knob in Rocky Mount, Va. You can see Grassy Hill in the distance. These are ancient underwater volcano deposits as shown by the pore rich basalt. These volcanoes formed as North and South America split apart and represent the breaking apart of Rodinia, a supercontinent.

Granite 3
450 million years ago, a volcanic island arc existed off North America similar to Japan off Asia Today. This igneous granite found in Martinsville is evidence of this.

Price 4
These sedimentary rocks found near Roanoke are 280 million years old. The folding occurred as North America and Africa collided to form the supercontinent Pangea, which occurred 230 million years ago after the rocks were deposited.

Ord title6
Glacial deposits called Tills in Africa indicate that 450 million years ago, sea level was lower and the continental shelves were drained, but other factors contributed to the Late Ordovician extinction.

Graptolite 7
Graptolites look like jellyfish but are actually related to early chordates, Some of these went extinct 450 million years ago. As fossils they look like pencil marks on the rock.

Cephalopods were early squid like animals that were carnivores. There were other predators in the seas 450 million years ago, making life difficult back then.

clams 10
These clams were invasive species 450 million years ago, they may have stirred up the sediment making it difficult for brachiopods to live on the sea floor. The brachiopods would have sunk into the sediment clogging their organs needed to get oxygen and food.

ord Summary 11
To summarize, some graptolites went extinct, then cephalopods, and finally some brachiopods went extinct or buried into the sediment to avoid extinction at the end of the Ordovician 450 million years ago.

Cret sign 12
86 million years ago the central part of the US was covered with water. Part of this was due to melting of all polar ice and the rise of sea level, but something else was happening...

Dev 1
The Devonian time period was about 350 million years ago. Many animals died at the end of this time period perhaps due to the rise of plants on land, and nutrients flushed into the oceans which lead to lower oxygen levels as algae consumed the nutrients
