Origin and evolution of dry coastal biota

The first fern psammophytes in sand dunes appeared from the Devonian. The Mesozoic herpetofauna of sandy shores included Geosauria, Rhynchocephalia and Thecodontia. The Paleozoic sea-cliffs included only lichens, snails and arthropodes, in the Mesozoic there nested Pterosaurians and early seabirds (Odontognathae), and their guano colonized the chasmophyte pteridophytes and early gymnosperms.
