THE GEOLOGIC TIME SCALE

BY ELIZABETH SPAIN

PRECAMBRIAN ERA

4,600 MYA TO 544 MYA

DURING THE PRECAMBRIAN ERA

THE EARTH WAS MOSTLY WATER WITH SOME SMALL VOLCANIC ISLANDS

BACTERIA WERE SOME OF THE VERY FIRST LIVING THINGS ON EARTH

DUE TO EARTH BEING MOST WATER AND HAVING A HARSH CLIMATE

ANABAENA WERE SOME OF THE FIRST PLANT LIFE ON EARTH

ANABAENAS LIVED IN SHALLOW WATER OR DAMP GROUMD AND ARE STILL AROUND PRESENT DAY

DURING THE PRECAMBRIAN ERA METEOROID SHOWERS WERE COMMON

AS A RESULT NOT MY ANIMALS AND PLANTS WERE LIVING DURING THIS ERA

PALEOZOIC ERA

540 MYA TO 248 MYA

DURING THE PALEOZOIC ERA THERE WERE MORE PLANT

LIFE TO HELP INCREASE THE OXYGEN LEVELS

THE PALEOZOIC ERA WAS

THE AGE OF MARINE LIFE

MOST OF THE SEA PLANTS DURING THE PALEOZOIC ERA WERE

CORAL OR SEA WEED

DURING THE PALEOZOIC ERA

ALL THE CONTINENTS FORMED A SUPER CONTINENT CALLED PANGEA

MESOZOIC ERA

248 MYA TO 66 MYA

DURING THE MESOZOIC ERA

PANGEA STARTED TO BREAK UP

THE FIRST FLOWERING PLANTS APPEARED

TO SUPPORT THE NEW HERBIVORES

THE MARINE LIFE STARTED TO EVOLVE INTO

LAND ANIMALS KNOWN AS DINOSAURS

DURING THE MESIZOIC ERA

THE FIRST BIRDS STARTED SHOWING UP

CENOZOIC ERA

66 MYA TO PRESENT DAY

MASS EXTINCTION

WHIPPED OUT ALL ANIMALS FORM THE MESOZOIC ERA

DURING THE CENOZOIC ERA

THE FIRST HUMANS APPEARED

THE CENOZOIC ERA

WAS KNOWN AS THE AGE OF ANIMALS

DURING THE CENOZOIC ERA

MOST OF PLANTS LOOKED SIMILAR TO TODAYS PLANTS
