I guess I should say "carboniferous" instead of "Mississippian" when talking to Europeans.
Since this fossil was found outside the United States I used that Carboniferous term.
I believe the term Carboniferous Period covers both the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian Periods. So it is probably a good idea to refer to the multiple names allowing for the broader audience one can encounter on the Internet.
Thanks for the comment.
