Scientists hesitate to estimate geo
logical time In terms Of years. Such
estimates have. however. been made,
and one epubllshed by Professor Charles
Schuchert In 1910 states that about
I2,O00,000 years have elapsed since the
close OF the carboniferous age, an age,
as the name suggests. Ia which great
deposits OF carbon. Ia coal. were being
formed In many parts OF the world.
This age has been divided by geolo-
gisfs into the Mississippian, Pennsyl-
vanian and Permian epochs, Of which
the Mississippisyl ~ the oldest and the
Permian the youngest The rennsyi-
yanlan epoch alone h estimated by
Schuchert 10 have covered 2.t00,0u0
