Silurian tides
A tidal simulation for the Late Silurian, with the colors depicting varying tidal ranges in meters for two tidal constituents. The first being the semi-diurnal (twice a day) lunar constituent (A-C), and the semi-diurnal (twice a day) solar constituent (D-F). Enlarged areas of evolutionary interest are shown in (B) and (E) for the South China region and (C) and (F) for Laurussia. Note the large tidal ranges seen around the South China region, the area where the first bony fish appeared.
