Carboniferous Marine Life
Ideal view of marine life from the Carboniferous Period, from Louis Figuier's The World Before the Deluge, 1867 American edition. On the right are rugose corals (Lithostrotion) and sponges (Chaetetes and Plytopora). The elongated tube in front of those is Aploceras, a nautiloid cephalopod. In the center are a gastropod (Bellerophon hiculus), another nautiloid (Nautilus koninckii), and a brachiopod (Productus) with spines surrounding its shell. On the left are another brachiopod (Chonetes), more rugose corals (Cyathophyllum) and some crinoids (Cyathocrinus and Platycrinus) waving in the water. The fish are Amblypterus.
