Pyrite βammonite!β Tornoceras. These extinct ammonoid cephalopods are from the Devonian period 416 - 345 million years ago. Instead of a normal fossil mineralization, these specimens are naturally formed with pyrite. Self-collected in Western NY.

A portal (in space) to a "carbon copy" of Solar System but in Devonian period
Inspired by this thread on r/askscience, and also in "Old Venus" alternate history and literature.
Let's say a portal (who behaves like the ones in "Portal" series) with a diameter of 2 or 3 times the width of a Starship rocket, appears in a stable orbit between Earth and Mars. Going through the portal leads to a spitting image of our Solar System, but in the period Devonian (419.2 Β± 3.2 β 358.9 Β± 0.4 MYA).
Its not leading us to the past, so there's nothing to worry about paradoxes and such.
How the world would react? What kind of exploration would happen on the other Earth (considering the characteristics of the other Earth atmosphere, fauna and flora and such - you can see on the linked thread i was inspired about this details)? Given that, until the moment man set foot on that planet, its evolution was identical to our Earth, could it solve any mysteries about the history of our own planet?

Short story. Writer travels back in time to the Bahamas in the Devonian period to get the quiet to write a book, but is stranded there for six years.
My dad read this short story when he was much younger and it caught his imagination such that heβs never forgotten it and Iβm trying to find it for him.
Donβt know the author. Or title.
Its a sci-fi short story.
Plot: A writer who needs the time to write a novel is sent back in time to the Bahamas in the Devonian period for 6 months when there was only sea life and no birds or animals so he had perfect peace and safety, and because it was time travel he was sent and brought back immediately (with his new novel), but the only trouble was they sent him back for 6 years. He went out in safari jacket and shorts and came back bearded, broken and like Robinson Crusoe!
Appreciate any help you might have to find this story! Thanks!

Hemicyclaspis was a primitive jawless fish, closely related to Cephalaspis, that lived in the Devonian and Silurian period in what is now North America and Europe. It was a better swimmer than most of its relatives due to its powerful tail, stabilizing dorsal fin, and hydrodynamic head shield.

[TOMT][TVSHOW][2000s] A 3-D time travel kids show that had the main cast going as far back in time as the Devonian period or further.
The show was definietly early or mid-2000s 3D animation. It followed a group of adolescent kids who I believe had a time machine and had to go farther and farther back in time as the show progressed. I remember there was an episode where the group of kids were in a giant forest and had to deal with giant walking squidlike monsters. There was another episode where they went all the way back to when the earth was nearly all oceans and they were stuck on a large floating colonial life form of some kind. The show was educational and would have short segments of the characters explaining what the different creatures they encountered were. I believe the show aired on a channel that wasn't super popular like PBS or the HUB and I'm fairly certain it's at least 10 years old maybe older.
