"My question is,do "Back to the Stone Age" and "Land of Terror" are also based in Pellucidar" or are they entirely separate novels not a continuation of Books 2,3,4 and 7 ?"
These books are based on Pellucidar as well, though with different characters.
"If ERB wrote JOHN CARTER of MARS before 1950 why was publication delayed till 1964,14 years after he ped away??"
"John Carter of Mars" combined two stories, the first part written by his son initially and later revised by ERB and submitted to a pulp magazine under ERB's name and the second part is the start of another novel based on John Carter's travel to Jupitar but not fully developed. It is likely Ed was to have written a couple more parts to the story but didn't finish it.
"Another question... did ERB conclude the MARS Series with the above and was THE WIZARD OF VENUS also the last in the Venus Series and SAVAGE PELLUCIDAR the last Book he intended to publish in the Pellucidar Series."
Most of the later books published were comprised of shorter stories like "Tarzan and the Castaways". "Wizard of Venus" was likely to have been a longer novel, as was "Skeleton Men of Jupitar" and "Beyond the Farthest Star" but were not able to be completed.
