Mesozoic era and Cenozoic Era
C - PALEOZOIC ERA
Hydrocarbons and coal were formed in what is known as the carboniferous era.
The fossils of the earliest reptiles are about 320 million years old. They date back to the Carboniferous period. The Carboniferous was a period in the Paleozoic era.
The Paleozoic
Starting with the oldest, they are the: Cambrian, Ordivician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian.
Paleozoic Era - 291 million years (542 - 251 Ma)Mesozoic Era - 185.5 million years (251 - 65.5 Ma)Carboniferous Period - 62.2 million years (359.2 - 299Ma)Jurassic Period - 54.1 million years (199.6 - 145.5 Ma)
The Paleozoic era represents the longest timespan from the list. It ran from 542 to 251 million years ago, a total time of 291 million years. It is also worth noting that an era always represents a longer timespan than a period and in fact an era will be composed of a number of periods. For completeness, the other time spans mentioned in the question are given further detail below: The Mesozoic era ran from 251 to 65.5 million years ago. A timespan of 185.5 millions years The Carboniferous period ran from 359.2 to 299 million years ago, A timespan of 60.2 millions years. The Carboniferous period is one of the subdivisions of the Paleozoic era. The Jurassic period ran from 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago. A timespan of 54.1 millions years. The Jurassic period is one of the subdivisions of the Mesozoic era. For further information, please see the related links.
Carboniferous
the Mesozoic Era I think
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.
No, Technically cordata were introduced in the late Camrian period in the form of small fish.. But The Devonian period is when the first large sharks and fish began to apear, I also believe that amphibians were on land in the mid-late devonian, and were abundant in the Carboniferous.
