I'll argue with the contrarian who responds, thanks. The naming convention here is uniquely stupid since it implies that all fossils found in lumps of coal be named coal X (which, of course, they are not) and we know the formation of coal shows peaks in both Carbonferous and Cenozoic eras that are separated by vast time intervals.
