A division of geological time from 360 to 290 million years ago. Named after the extensive coal seams ('carbon') deposited at the time.
A period of geological time, dating from about 350 to 290 million years ago.
Period of geologic time 280-345 million years ago.
of or relating to the Carboniferous geologic era; "carboniferous rock system"
The geological period from ~362 to 290 Ma ago
Period of geological time about 400 - 300 million years ago.
Unit of rocks with extensive coal beds named W.D. Conybeare and William Phillips. Overlies the Devonian in the Paleozoic.
the fifth and penultimate epoch of the Palaeozioc era, lasting for 80 million years during which time the coal measures were formed; from Latin carbo 'charcoal', modern adjective meaning literally 'yielding carbon (or coal)'.
A period of time in the Paleozoic era that includes the Pennsylvanian and Mississippian periods and extended from 360 to 286 million years ago.

This term is applied also to the great formation which includes among other rocks, the coal-measures. It belongs ot the oldest, of Palaeozoic, system of formations.

The fifth of the six Geologic Periods of the Paleozoic Era. It extends from the end of the Devonian Period (about 345 million years ago) to the beginning of the Permian Period (about 280 million years ago). In North America, it is further divided into the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian ages.
the period of geological time between 360 and 286 million years ago, named for the thick deposits of coal found in rocks of this age. Forests covered much of the land during this time, the decomposition of which gave rise to the coal. See Geological Timescale.
Late Paleozoic period ranging from 360 Ma to 295 Ma.
This term is applied to the great formation which includes among other rocks, the coal-measures. It belongs to the oldest, or Palæozoic , system of formations. 29
a geological time period approximately 354 to 298 million years ago.
A period of time extending from 354 - 290 million years ago. During this time large forests developed across the globe, laying down the organic material that would later form the worlds coal supply. At the same time, the first land dwelling vertebrates evolved.
The fifth period of the Palaeozoic. Spans 359-299Ma, and is famous for the extensive coal beds found throughout the UK. read more
The Carboniferous is a major division of the geologic timescale that extends from the end of the Devonian period, about 359.2 ± 2.5 Ma (million years ago), to the beginning of the Permian period, about 299.0 ± 0.8 Ma (ICS 2004). As with most older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the period's start and end are well identified, but the exact dates are uncertain by 5–10 million years. The Carboniferous is named for the extensive coal beds of that age found in Western Europe.
