Earth During the Permian
Ideal landscape of the Permian Period, from Louis Figuier's The World Before the Deluge, 1867 American edition. In the background are recently-erupted rock domes. The heat of the rock causes rising vapors and torrential rain with lightning. In the foreground are tree ferns and Lepidodendron, with Asterophyllites growing at the water's edge. Exposed by the receding tide are brachiopods (Productus and Spirifer) and crinoids.
