Great everglades developed in the estuaries of the rivers where water supported the development of flora and insects. It would be from those forests that the coal deposits that are being mined even today would form and on account of which, the whole period coined its name. During that period, the amphibians proliferated and multiplied living by the water while the first reptiles colonized and spread on the land about 315 million years ago, thus transforming life from being marine-dominated to becoming land-dominated.
