| 3 | During the Devonian period, insects began to exploit terrestrial environments. Flight, the exoskeleton, and metamorphosis are probably keys to insect success. | |
| 4 | Silurian -Devonian island-arc volcanic formation may be hosted in rock full of porphyry copper deposits. | |
| 5 | Laminated siliceous rocks in country rocks might represent the nature of the Devonian hydrothermal sedimentary rocks. |
