The
Silurian
is a
geologic period and system
that extends from the end of the
Ordovician
Period, about 443.7 ± 1.5
Mya
(million years ago), to the beginning of the
Devonian
Period, about 416.0 ± 2.8 Mya (

chart
). As with other
geologic
periods, the
rock
beds that define the period's start and end are well identified, but the exact dates are uncertain by several million years. The base of the Silurian is set at a major
extinction event
when 60% of marine species were wiped out. See
Ordovician-Silurian extinction events
