How long did the pennsylvanian period last?
The Pennsylvanian Period was from about 325 million to 280 million years ago. It is part of the Paleozoic Era. The Pennsylvanian and the Mississippian (345 to 325 MYA) are often grouped together as the Carboniferous Period.
What is Mississippian period?
The Mississippian Period was from about 345 million to 325 million years ago. It is part of the Paleozoic Era. The Mississippian and the Pennsylvanian (325 to 280 MYA) are often grouped together as the Carboniferous Period.

How long was the age of the amphibian?
Tetrapods (early amphibians) emerged in the fossil record some time int he lower Carboniferous, around 360 million years ago. Reptiles emerged later in the carboniferous, 320-310 million years ago, and were probably the dominant terrestrial fauna by the start of the Permian, 299 million years ago. If any period in geological history could be described as the age of the amphibians, it would be the lowere-to-middle Carboniferous.
