The Devonian 410 to 360 Million Years Ago The Rhynie Chert in Scotland is a Devonian age deposit containing fossils of both Zosterophyllophytes and Trimerophytes, the two major lines of vascular plants. This indicates that prior to the start of the Devonian, the first major radiations of the plants had already happened. The oldest known vascular plants in the Northern Hemisphere are Devonian.

To the east was the Acadian Mountains which rose to over 40, 000 feet (the Himalayas are a little over 20, 000 feet).
