This timeline of Carboniferous research is a chronological listing of events in the history of geology and paleontology focused on the study of earth during the span of time lasting from 358.9 to 298.9 million years ago and the legacies of this period in the rock and fossil records.
The Carboniferous (/ ˌ k ɑːr b ə ˈ n ɪ f ər ə s / KAR-bə-NIF-ər-əs) [6] is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era that spans 60 million years from the end of the Devonian Period 358.86 Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the Permian Period, 298.9 Ma.

A period is equivalent to a chronostratigraphic system. [14] [13] There are 22 defined periods, with the current being the Quaternary period. [2] As an exception, two subperiods are used for the Carboniferous Period. [14] An epoch is the second smallest geochronologic unit. It is equivalent to a chronostratigraphic series.
The Mississippian (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ s ɪ p i. ə n / MISS-iss-IP-ee-ən), [5] also known as Lower Carboniferous or Early Carboniferous, is a subperiod in the geologic timescale or a subsystem of the geologic record. It is the earlier of two subperiods of the Carboniferous period lasting from roughly 358.9 to 323.2
