Carboniferous (Paleozoic, Phanerozoic, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The fifth interval of the Paleozoic Era in the geologic time scale, following the Devonian Period and preceding the Permian Period. The Carboniferous Period began approximately 358.9 million years ago and ended 298.9 million years ago, the longest period of the Paleozoic Era and the second longest period of the Phanerozoic Eon. The first reptiles and seed-bearing plants appeared during this period, accompanied by widespread coral reefs, coal-forming swamp forests, and extensive limestone deposits.

| Dutch ..... De vijfde periode van het paleozoïcum, na het devoon en vóór het perm. Het carboon duurde van ongeveer 358,9 miljoen tot 298,9 miljoen jaar geleden en is daarmee de langste periode van de era, het paleozoïcum, en de op één na langste van het eon, het fanerozoïcum. De eerste reptielen en zaaddragende planten verschenen in deze tijd, vergezeld door een brede verspreiding van koraalriffen, koolvormende moerasbossen en kalksteenafzettingen. |
