Shallow, warm, marine waters often
flooded the continents. Filter feeders such as bryozoans, particularly fenestellids, were abundant in this environment, and the sea floor was controlled by brachiopods. Trilobites were scarce while foraminifera were abundant. The heavily armored fish became extinct, being replaced with more modern-looking fish fauna

These are the Trilobites.

This was a brown, soil-like material characteristic of boggy, acid ground, consisting of partly decomposed vegetable matter. It is widely cut and dried for use in gardening and as fuel. Here is a diagram on how coal was formed. Carboniferous Coal was formed by trees that grew in swamplands.Over time the plant debris formed the world's first coal deposits.

Oxygen made up 20 percent of the atmosphere—about today's level—around 350 million years ago, and it rose to as much as 35 percent over the next 50 million years."]]> 2018-05-01 18:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hunter76648/eqimdaqptqzx/wish/256984061 More Pictures hunter76648 https://padlet.com/hunter76648/eqimdaqptqzx/wish/256985510 The Giant Arthropleura Millipede from the Carboniferous Period.
