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.
The Carboniferous Period has been divided into the Lower Carboniferous (Mississippian) and the Upper Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) based on the differing stratigraphy found on different continents. The Mississippian has a stratigraphy that was mostly limestone, and most coal-bearing deposits (not all) were found in the Pennsylvanian.
Buildup of carbon deposits led to surplus oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygen built up in the Mississippian period and by the end of the carboniferous period, 35% of the atmosphere was oxygen. -nb
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.
Crinoids and ammonites were the dominant marine life forms during the Mississippian stage of the Carboniferous period.

the mississippian period was 40 million years ago, and it is an era of time that scientists use to categorise a point in the earth's geological time.
Yes. The Mississippian period is a part of the Paleozoic era, along with the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian periods.
