The Carboniferous (Mississippian & Pennsylvanian) was not known for megafauna. There were some pretty big insects at that time. Diplovertebron reached lengths of nearly 2 feet. It was amphibious, dining on fish and smaller amphibians. Archaeothyris also reached lengths of nearly 2 feet, and was a synapsid (a precursor to modern mammals). From its teeth it is presumed to have been carnivorous.
Edaphosaurus was a late carboniferous synapsid that lived into the Permian. It grew up to 12 feet long, but it was an herbivore, not a carnivore.
The size and variety of carnivores increased substantially by the Permian.
The Carboniferous period, also known as the Coal Age, contributed to the formation of vast coal deposits that are still used today as a source of energy. Additionally, the period was characterized by the diversification of plant and animal species, leading to the development of new ecosystems and adaptations. The Carboniferous also played a significant role in shaping Earth's climate and geology.
The Carboniferous period is subdivided into the Mississippian and the Pennsylvanian periods.
There is no doubt of it. There were probably millions of plant species that came and went during the Carboniferous.
nothing. i am not smart
The Mississippian and Pennsylvanian periods are grouped together as the Carboniferous period. This period lasted from approximately 358.9 million to 298.9 million years ago and is known for the widespread deposition of coal-forming swamps.
the carboniferous period is when dead plants were compressed and made into coal
Carboniferous means carbon bearing. Large coal deposits were laid down then, hence the name.
beause amphibians were the top species during the Carboniferous Period

the carboniferous period had crinoids,echinoderms but today we don't have it
The Carboniferous is considered to have started 354 million years ago and ended 290 million years ago.
paleozoic
The Dinosaurs came
The period after the Devonian Period (416 to 359.2Ma) is the Carboniferous Period (359.2 to 299Ma).
The Carboniferous period followed the Devonian period and was characterized by extensive coal forests and the emergence of early reptiles. The Devonian period is known for the diversification of fish and the development of forests on land.
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.
