Xylem cells are specialised for conduction of water, and first appeared in plants during their transition to land in the Silurian period more than 425 million years ago ( see Cooksonia ).

The Silurian system was first identified by British geologist Sir Roderick Impey Murchison, who was examining fossil-bearing sedimentary rock strata in south Wales in the early 1830s.

This class of arthropod is thought to be among the first animals to have colonised land during the Silurian geologic period.

The geologic period Silurian was first described by Roderick Murchison in rocks located in the original lands of the Silures, hence the name.

The first armored agnathans — the Ostracoderms, precursors to the bony fish and hence to the tetrapods ( including humans )— are known from the middle Ordovician, and by the Late Silurian the agnathans had reached the high point of their evolution.

By the early Silurian, the gills were becoming adapted for filter feeding and during the Devonian and Carboniferous periods siphons first appeared which, with the newly developed muscular foot, allowed the animals to bury themselves deep in the sediment.

Since Alfred Eisenack first recognised and named the group in 1930, the Chitinozoa have proven incredibly useful as a stratigraphic markers in biostratigraphy during the Ordovician, Silurian and Devonian periods.

He discovered secondary ( Cretaceous ) fossils in Queensland in 1860, he was also the first to indicate the presence of Silurian rocks, and to determine the age of the coal-bearing rocks in New South Wales.
