well, this is the first link that doesn't give me the urge to ask the author if he's been reading Michael Crichton lately.
On the other hand, the name of the site is "Plant Fossils of West Virginia" so while it's a scientific site I am not really sure that atmospheric or oceanic conditions are the author's a) focus or b) area of expertise. When he says that conditions are similar to the late Carboniferous period, does he really mean it ALL respects? Seems to be that since his focus is in explaining how those fossils got there, he might have been speaking broadly.
