Late Devonian
The Devonian ( ) is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era, spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the Silurian, million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Carboniferous, Mya. It is named after Devon, England, where rocks from this period were first studied. The first significant adaptive radiation of life on dry land occurred during the Devonian. Free-sporing vascular plants began to spread across dry land, forming extensive forests which covered the continents. By the middle of the Devonian, several groups of plants had evolved leaves and true roots, and by the end of the period the first seed-bearing plants appeared. The arthropod groups of myriapods, arachnids and hexapods also became well-established early in this period, after starting their expansion to land at least from the Ordovician period. Fish reached substantial diversity during this time, leading the Devonian to often be dubbed the Age of Fishes. The placoderms began dominating al ...

Description The Gauja Formation has a maximum thickness of . It is composed of weakly to moderately cemented layers of fine-grained to very fine-grained sandstone. The layer is predominantly light to yellowish-gray in color, but can be pinkish brown or variegated. It is mostly composed of quartzose arenites. It is overlain by the thick Amata Formation and the Plavinas Formation. The Gauja Formation contains two cyclic members. The lower layers are known as the Sietin Member and are composed mostly of sandstone with a thin layer of siltstone at the top. It has yielded numerous fossils of fishes. Among them are '' Asterolepis'', ''Bothriolepis'', '' Glyptolepis baltica'', '' Laccognathus panderi'', '' Livoniana multidentata'',Ahlberg et al., 2000 and '' Megadonichthys kurikae''.
