Prehistoric, Carboniferous Landscape
Colour enhanced illustration of a Carboniferous landscape, the fifth period of the Palaeozoic Era, spanning from about 355 million years to about 295 million years ago, by Franz Unger, 1916. 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. The upper portions of the system are usually composed of cyclically repeated successions of sandstones, coals, shales, and thin limestones. The economic importance of the Carboniferous is evident in its name, which refers to coal, the important energy source that fuelled the industrialization of northwestern Europe in the early 1800s and led to the Carboniferous being one of the first geologic systems to be studied in detail.
