It lasted from roughly Period span Pennsylvanian . As with most other geochronology geochronologic units, the stratum rock beds that define the Pennsylvanian are well identified, but the exact date of the start and end are uncertain by a few million years.

Generalized geographic map of the United States location in Middle Pennsylvanian time. During the Carboniferous period, the contrast in the distribution of land and water from the ancient past to the present becomes more dramatic. The map shows the outline of the United States as it looked during the Pennsylvanian Period some 300 million years ago. It gives the appearance of reversing present day geography. A highland which lay to the east, south, and north supplied much of the sedimentary debris that was spread over the midwestern part of the United States. The Midwest was mainly a low swampy area in which scouring rushes and fern trees grew in profusion. Sediment was carried into the region from deltas to the east. From time to time, the level of the sea fluctuated possibly because of glacial conditions in the Southern Hemisphere . Swamps were flooded, and forests were destroyed. Slowly, layers rich in tree stumps, spores, branches, and leaves were deposited. Later, heat and pressure changed these layers into the coal beds that are so extensive in Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Tennessee. To the west, marine limestones, sandstones, and shales accumulated in shallow seas whose vast expanses were dotted with shoals and islands. Some of the very large islands were formed by the buckling and uplifting of parts of the Earth s crust. badJPEG PD USGov Interior USGS http pubs.usgs.gov gip continents pennmap.jpg Category Images of the United States ... more details
File Earlyoilfield.jpg thumb A Pennsylvanian oil field in 1862. The Pennsylvanian oil rush was a boom in petroleum production which occurred in northwestern Pennsylvania from 1859 to about 1870. The oil rush began in started in Titusville, Pennsylvania , when Colonel Edwin L. Drake struck rock oil there. Numerous productive, highly profitable oil wells were drilled in the area, oil refineries were built there, Titusville expanded enormously, and an oil exchange was founded. After 1871, the oil industry was well established, and the rush to drill wells and control production was over. Pennsylvania oil production peak oil peaked in 1891, but Pennsylvania has some oil industry still today. History The Titusville area had some natural petroleum seep s. In the late 1850s, the Seneca Oil Company formerly the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company sent Drake to drill wells on a piece of leased land just south of Titusville near what is now Oil Creek State Park. Drake hired a salt well driller, William A. Smith, in the summer of 1859. They had many difficulties, but on August 27, they finally drilled a well that could be commercially successful. Soon other wells were drilled, by Seneca and other companies. Titusville grew from 250 residents to 10,000 almost overnight and in 1866 it incorporated as a city. Several ironworks were built to supply drilling tools. Eight oil refineries were built between 1862 and 1868. Other oil related businesses quickly exploded on the scene. The Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad was built to transport oil it opened in 1862, linking Titusville with the town of Corry, Pennsylvania Corry , 35 km north on the Erie Railroad . The oil was carried from the wells to the railroad in horse drawn wagons. In 1865 pipelines were laid from the oil fields directly to the rail line, ending horse drawn transport. That same year, the Union City, Pennsylvania Union City & Titusville Railroad UC&T was completed. In 1866, the railroad line was extended 20 km south to Petroleum ... more details
