The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) was an evolutionary radiation of animal life throughout [1] the Ordovician period, 40 million years after the Cambrian explosion, [2] whereby the distinctive Cambrian fauna fizzled out to be replaced with a Paleozoic fauna rich in suspension feeder and pelagic animals.
The Ordovician period contained many marine animals. These animals can be found fossilized in the layers of the Cincinnati Arch. The types of animals that appear in these formations are: bryozoans, gastropods, cephalopods, horn corals, brachiopods, crinoids, and trilobites. [3]

These are some of the more primitive forms of shelled cephalopods. During the Ordovician these animals grew to huge sizes, some reaching the size of telephone poles. By the Devonian they had grown smaller, although they were still voracious predators. Some of these animals can be found in Michigan, but are pretty rare.
