No. The Carboniferous Period (359 - 299Ma) lasting 60 million years was 9.6 million longer than the Jurassic Period (251 - 199.6Ma) which lasted 51.4 million years.

In order of longest to shortest:-

Rhyacian(2,300 - 2,050Ma) - 250 million years

Orosirian(2,050 - 1,800Ma) - 250 million years

Cryogenian(850 - 630Ma) - 220 million years

Siderian(2,500 - 2,300Ma) - 200 million years

Statherian(1,800 - 1,600Ma) - 200 million years

Calymimian(1,600 - 1,400) - 200 million years

Ectasian(1,400 - 1,200Ma) - 200 million years

Stenian(1,200 - 1,000Ma) - 200 million years

Tonian(1,000 - 850Ma) - 150 million years

Ediacaran(630 - 542Ma) - 88 million years

Cretaceous(145.5 - 65.5) - 80 million years

Carboniferous(359 - 299Ma) - 60 million years

Devonian(416 - 359Ma) - 57 million years

Jurassic(199.6 - 145.5) - 54.1 million years

Cambrian(542 - 488Ma) - 54 million years

Triassic(251 - 199.6Ma) - 51.4 million years

Permian(299 - 251Ma) - 48 million years

Ordovician(488 - 443Ma) - 45 million years

Paleogene(65.5 - 23.3) - 42.2 million years

Silurian(443 - 416Ma) - 27 million years

Neogene(23.030 - 2.588Ma) - 20.442 million years

Quaternary(2.588Ma - Now) - 2.588 million years

What is the longest - Jurassic period Carboniferous period Paleozoic era or Mesozoic era?

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.
