  1. carboniferous period

    The Carboniferous Period is a geologic time period that occurred about 359.2 to 299 million years ago, during the late Paleozoic Era. This period was named for the vast deposits of coal that were formed due to a massive growth of forests and swamp vegetation. It is often known for its diverse and large amphibians and the first development of amniote eggs, which allowed for certain vertebrates to live on land. The Carboniferous Period is divided into two sub-periods: the Mississippian and the Pennsylvanian.
