Document Summary
Chapter 15 the late paleozoic world: defining the geologic time periods (carboniferous, permian, biota (marine, terrestrial, me, geology, continental configuration, orogenic events, geologic deposits, chemical reservoirs, ocean chemistry, climate trends, major eustatic change, isotopic trends. Late carboniferous ice age ends: therapsids evolve from reptiles, continued alleghenian orogeny, appalachians and ouachitas, pangaea forms, dry climate, reduction in coal swamps. A sac filled with nutritious yolk: 2. The amnion sac that contains the embryo and fluid in which it develops: 3. A sac that collects waste products: 4. Legs vertical under body: resembled mammals, teeth differentiated. Incisors: fangs, molars, endothermic, warm-blooded: sustained levels of activity, dominated amphibians and reptiles by end of permian. Limestone abundant: late carboniferous (pennsylvanian, gondwanaland collided with euramerica, extended appalachians ; formed ouachita, extensive swamps on interior, burial of vast quantities of organic carbons. Large thickness of sediment enormous quantities of petroleum: reefs once flourished (petroleum).
