What are some carbon organisms?

The continuous period is a geological period that extends 359 to 299 million years ago. It acquires its name from huge deposits of oil and gas, which left during this period the crumbling plant mass. Carbonferous, about 60 million years in length, is one of the longest of the geological periods that exceeded the length of only 80 million years of wing.

Carboniferous is the first whole period during which there has been abundant earthly life, including numerous plants, arthropods and amphibians. The earliest sauropsids (reptiles) and synapers (ancestors) developed during the center of carbon, about 420 million years ago. They both resembled the appearance of small lizards. These species would spoil when they were imprisoned in the breakdown of the stumps and could not find the way out.

The peak of the cortex lignin first developed just before the carbon. These early trees use such extensive bark that the "bark" was a tree, it accounts for 80-95% of the tree volume, with traditional wood being the rest. It is assumed thatLarge carbon deposits created during carbon (which supported the industrial revolution) were only for two causes-the only one that bacteria and animals capable of effectively decompose lignin have not yet developed and extensive low-lying forests and swamps from low sea levels in the middle of the period.

Although there were many diverse amphibians at the beginning of the period, including amphibians larger than men, earthly fauna was mostly dominated by arthropods such as insects. Oxygen levels were so large during the carbonus that arthropods can grow to a gigantic size. Two of the most amazing examples were 0.3-2.6 m (1-8.5 feet) of myriapod (relative Millipedes and Centipedes) Arthropleura , the largest earthly invertebhe ever and griffinflies, order the protodonata (relatives), with a wing range of up to 75 cm (2.5 feet). Arthropleura had a mixed diet that would include a tonPlants annually, while griffinflies were predators, ate other insects and even small amphibians, in the twist of modern species roles.

shallow oceans were inhabited by different types of fish and invertebrates, especially brachiopods (phyla filter enjoyment that superficially resemble fog) and crinoids (echinoderma called marine lily). The Deep Sea of ​​the Devoniana disappeared when the poles were proven and the water was withdrawn from the oceans. Sea life has recovered from the 15 million years of extinction series, which has erased about three -quarters of marine species, including important fish groups such as placodermy. In the middle of the carbonef, there was another event of less extinction. Like him, Permiancarboniferous was not a great time for naval families, and a large part of the event was held on Earth.
