sea level at the end of the Devonian reversed early in the Carboniferous; this created the widespread epicontinental seas and carbonate depostion of the Mississippian.[1] There was also a drop in south polar temperatures; southern Gondwanaland was glaciated throughout the period, though it is uncertain if the ice sheets were a holdover from the Devonian or not.[2] These conditions apparently had little effect in the deep tropics, where lush coal swamps flourished within 30 degrees of the northernmost glaciers.[3]

Paleogeografía A principios del Carbonífero se invirtió la caída global del nivel del mar que ocurrió al final del Devónico, y este subió, creando mares epicontinentales generalizados.5 Hubo también un descenso en las temperaturas polares en el sur, de hecho, el sur de Gondwana fue glaciar durante todo el período.
