Ferns were the dominant form of vegetation during the Carboniferous Period about 300 million years ago. They were much larger than ferns growing today, some reaching a height of 24 meters (80 feet). Much of the world's supply of coal, oil, and gas formed from the remains of ancient ferns that were slowly buried under layers of sediment.

What does dinosaurs lived 145-130 mya mean?

"Mya" is an abbreviation for "millions of years ago." So "Dinosaurs lived 145 - 130 mya" means that they lived from 145 to 130 million years ago. However, although dinosaurs lived during that time, they first evolved 220 mya and the non avian dinosaur died out 65.5 mya. Avian dinosaurs (birds), still exist to the present day.
