Carboniferous, comes from latin, and means "coal-bearing". Many beds of coal were laid down all over the world during this period, hence the name.
Started 354 million years ago and ended 290 million years ago.
about a thousand years
it was the saber tooth lion
290 MYA
There is no doubt of it. There were probably millions of plant species that came and went during the Carboniferous.

Mass extinction - More than 50% of the population went extinct in a short period of time.Background extinction - An average rate of extinction occurred during a given time period.
increased oxygen in the atmosphere caused the extinction o many single-celled organisms.
The first conifers appeared between 318 and 299 million years ago. That was during the end of the Carboniferous period. Specifically, it was during the Pennsylvanian series.
beause amphibians were the top species during the Carboniferous Period
plants
The sun caused the plants to grow that fed the animals that made the oil during the Carboniferous period.
Placoderms appeared in the fossil register during the Silurian period, and all placoderms (including the nightmarish Dunkleosteus terrelli) went extinct on the Late Devonian extinction.On the Carboniferous period there were already no placoderm fishes in the oceans.This Paleozoic era extinction(s) is not yet fully understood.However, the extinction of many marine life families in the Devonian/Carboniferous mass extinction, during the Frasnian/Famennian stages and specially the Kellwasser event, was due to the widespread oceanic anoxia.Few other reliable paleontologic data is known.
There is no doubt of it. There were probably millions of plant species that came and went during the Carboniferous.
They evolved from amphibians during the Carboniferous Period.

The Carboniferous period marks the start of new life forms as organisms rapidly diversify while terrestrial life has been well-established during the Devonian period.
the carboniferous period is when dead plants were compressed and made into coal
what are some dangers in the carboniferous period
The 2nd half's climate was during glaciation
Reptiles evolved from amphibians
