RM2BDXH1X–Ideal view of marine life from the Carboniferous Period, from Louis Figuier's The World Before the Deluge, 1867. On the right are rugose corals (Lithostrotion) and sponges (Chaetetes and Plytopora). The elongated tube in front of these is Aploceras, a nautiloid cephalopod. In the center are a gastropod (Bellerophon hiculus), another nautiloid (Nautilus koninckii), and a brachiopod (Productus) with spines surrounding its shell. On the left are another brachiopod (Chonetes), more rugose corals (Cyathophyllum) and some crinoids (Cyathocrinus and Platycrinus) waving in the water. The fish are A
RM2AMHAB6–A forest in the Carboniferous Period (meaning coal-bearing) that spans 60 million years from the end of the Devonian Period 358.9 million years ago, to the beginning of the Permian Period, 298.9 million years ago.

RMT9642F–Carboniferous landscape. The fifth period of the Paleozoic Era. The Carboniferous Period spanned from about 355 million years to about 295 million years ago. The rocks that formed during this time interval are known as the Carboniferous System; they include a wide variety of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks in the lower portion of the Carboniferous are typically carbonates, such as limestones and dolostones, and locally some evaporites.

RM2A2MMJ0–Fusulina, Print, The Fusulinida is an extinct order within the Foraminifera in which the tests (shells) are composed of tightly packed, secreted microgranular calcite. Like all Forams, they are single-celled organisms. In advanced forms the test wall is differentiated into two or more layers. Loeblich and Tappan, 1988, gives a range from the Lower Silurian to the Upper Permian, with the fusulinid foraminifera going extinct with the Permian–Triassic extinction event. While the latter is true, a more supported projected timespan is from the Mid-Carboniferous period
