This page lists appearances of the Earth Reptiles, known as the Silurians and Sea Devils, in the order in which they experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories.

Limiting factors[[edit source]]

The era of the Earth Reptiles has never been consistently or clearly dated. This dating issue is addressed in The Monster Vault [+]Loading...["The Monster Vault (novel)","The Monster Vault"], which acknowledges reports of Silurians being active in multiple prehistoric time periods. It explains that numerous groups of Silurians had went into hibernation at different times to avoid various incoming disasters, including but not limited to the coming of the Moon. This is also used to explain the appearance of multiple Silurian subspecies, as the remaining groups of Silurians would continue to evolve over thousands of years whilst others went into hibernation.
