What organisms lived in the Mississippian Era?

Answer 1

During the Mississippian Era, which lasted from approximately 359 to 318 million years ago, the Earth was inhabited by a variety of organisms. These included early amphibians, such as labyrinthodonts, as well as diverse marine life like crinoids, brachiopods, and ammonoids. Land plants continued to evolve, with the first forests of ferns and seed plants appearing. In the oceans, coral reefs became more prominent, and fish diversity increased.

Answer 2

The dominate organism that lived in the Mississippian period were giant insects like killer bees and it was mostly warm and rain like and one time some people were walking around Africa and found a giant insects fossil and that ware they made the game Halo.

Answer 3

This is a rather broad question, and to sufficiently answer it would take much more space than available here. In short, numerous metazoans have fossil records that date to the Carboniferous (or, in the US, the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian) Period, or even earlier.

The Carboniferous Period is probably best known for it's extensive coal forests that dominated the North American landscape. North America was located near the equator during this time, and hence the climate much warmer and more humid. Giant swamps were built by unusual trees called lycopods, and ferns were also dominant. These forests were also home to giant insects, amphibians, and early reptiles.

In the oceans, the animal communities largely maintained the kind of status quo that existed for tens of millions of years during the Paleozoic Era. Brachiopods and crinoids were dominant, but bivalves, trilobites, bryozoans, gastropods, cephalopods, sponges, annelids (worms), echinoderms, and coral were also present. There were coral reefs, but composed of the now extinct rugose and tabulate corals. Bony fishes and sharks were swimming around, as well.

Answer 4

During the Mississippian Era, which lasted from about 359 to 323 million years ago, diverse marine life thrived, including brachiopods, crinoids, corals, and ammonoids. On land, early tetrapods (vertebrates with four limbs) continued to evolve, along with diverse plant life such as ferns and seed-producing plants.
