64 million years, until 290 million years ago" (Fossil Facts and Finds, 2010). It is a period of time that has left behind very few fossil records, in relationship to
the plants, and as such is a very allusive period as well as a very important one as it is directly linked to the formation of coal. Like many
periods in ancient history there was a great deal of change and a great deal of development as one species or another grew, changed, died, and made room for new
species of plants and animals. The following paper examines the plants that existed during this time and then also examines what plants may exist that are somewhat related to those
ancient plants. Plants from the Carboniferous Age First and foremost it is noted that "Though many spectacular plant forms dominated
the Carboniferous, most of them disappeared before the end of the Paleozoi" (UCMP.Berkeley.edu, 2010). It was a time when plants and trees truly seemed to come into being and they
did so primarily because temperatures were so constant and very tropical in nature. One author indicates that, "New plants developed in the warm, humid climate and swampy conditions of the
Carboniferous Period. Large trees covered with bark and huge ferns grew in the middle Carboniferous swamps" (Fossil Facts and Finds, 2010). What
is known about what was growing generally comes from fossil records, of which there is apparently not very much. There were clubmoss trees, seed ferns as well as ferns, clubmosses
and Cordaites which are believed to be an ancestor to conifers today (Steur, 2010). The trees apparently lacked any sort of growth rings, similar to swamp trees today, which is
