Paleozoic


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to, or designating, the older division of geological time during which life is known to have existed, including the Silurian, Devonian, and Carboniferous ages, and also to the life or rocks of those ages. See Chart of Geology.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The geographic location of leptospirosis presents a pattern which closely parallels the distribution of Paleozoic bedrock.
  • (2) In general, the small subunit nuclear sequences appear to be best for elucidating Precambrian divergences, the large subunit nuclear sequences for Paleozoic and Mesozoic divergences, and the organellar sequences of both subunits for Cenozoic divergences.
