What are the leading theories for the formation of fossil fuels?
The generally accepted theory for the formation of fossil fuels is that vegetable matter, dating back to the Carboniferous Period, became buried underground, and over time, with compression and heat in the absence of oxygen, it was transformed into the various fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. There is also one other theory which has some plausibility, which is that fossil fuels are much older than the Carboniferous Period, and are derived from the Earth's atmosphere, before the first appearance of green plants that produce oxygen. At a sufficiently early period in Earth's history, hydrocarbons may have been extremely abundant, just as they are in the outer solar system.
What main things would travelers might see in the permian time period?
The Permian period was 230 to 280 million years ago. Travelers during this time period would have been able to witness the start of the Alps, the Appalachian, and the Rocky Mountains.

Insects and amphibians were rich throughout the Carboniferous area.

The period is called the Carboniferous because rocks from that time period are rich in coal. The rocks are rich in coal because much of the Earth was covered in swamps. The pete moss was then put under tremendous pressure and heat over millions of years, forming the coal.
