THE MAIN BOUNDARIES IN THE COLONIZATION OF THE ANCIENT SIBERIAN CONTINENT
Abstract
This paper examines the origin and development of life within the ancient Siberian continent of Angarida. Geochronologically, this interval largely coincides with the Devonian period of the Paleozoic era (416–359 million years ago). At the beginning of this period, Angarida was a separate continent in the Earth's northern hemisphere. Adjacent to the south were the continents of Europe, Kazakhstan, and China. The vast supercontinent of Gondwana lay in the equatorial and southern parts of the planet. This paleogeography predetermined a significant delay in the onset of colonization of Angarida compared to the continents further south.
