By the dawn of this period of relative quiet on the earth's surface, life is
confined to the various inland seas and the oceanic shore line; as yet no form
of land organism has evolved. Primitive marine animals are well established
and are prepared for the next evolutionary development. Ameba
are typical survivors of this initial stage of animal life, having made their
appearance toward the close of the preceding transition period.
