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.

What are the uses of Carboniferous?
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.
