 Geologic Time Scale – a timeline of Earth’s History divided into periods of time by major events or changes on Earth What do we call these major events or changes? Geologic Time Scale

Catastrophic Events – events that cause major destruction or change life completely Examples:  Mass extinctions  Ice Ages  Meteors  Major volcanic eruptions Catastrophic Events

 1. Hadean  2. Archean  3. Proterozoic  4. Phanerozoic  1-3 make up Precambrian Time

AMOUNT OF TIME:  90% of Earth’s history  Lasted nearly 4 billion years of Earth’s 4.6 billion year total MAIN EVENTS:  Volcanic ash & dust ->clouds formed ->rain  Single-celled micro-organisms in ocean towards the end  NO animals!  NO plants!

 Explosion of Life!  Contains 3 Eras: ◦ Paleozoic Era – “Age of Amphibians” ◦ Mesozoic Era – “Age of Dinosaurs” ◦ Cenozoic Era – “Age of Mammals”

544 mya – 248 mya  All life in ocean until end  Fish developed  Reptiles, Insects, Ferns developed –> life moving onto land towards end  Ends with a Mass Extinction possibly from a meteor strike (???) – kills 90% of all ocean species!

248 mya – 65 mya  Dinosaurs Rule!  Small mammals, birds, and flowering plants  Ends with Mass Extinction due to meteor strike off Mexico  Dust cloud blocked sunlight, killed plant life and affected food chain

65 mya – Present  Large warm-blooded mammals, modern birds  Animals developed migration techniques  Quaternary Period = the past 2 million yrs ◦ Ice ages ◦ 1 st modern human fossils = 100,000 yrs old

Once upon a time, 4.6 billion years ago, the Earth was born. The world looked very different than it does today! At first, there weren’t even any plants and animals, and certainly no humans…can you imagine? And then… Example…

Label each era on the clock: - What do you notice? Clock of Eras

Precambrian Time  Earth formed (4.6 billion years ago)  Clouds formed (3 billion years ago)  Bacteria (3 billion years ago)  Single-celled organisms (3 billion years ago)  Blue-green algae (1 billion years ago) Remember: This is 90% of Earth’s History! Geologic Time Scale Order

Phanerozoic Eon – Paleozoic Era  Jellyfish & Sponges (600 million years ago)  Fish (480 million years ago)  Ferns (470 million years ago)  Sharks (400 million years ago)  Spiders (400 million years ago)  Reptiles (320 million years ago)  Flying insects (315 million years ago)  ENDED WITH….? Geologic Time Scale Order

Phanerozoic Eon – Mesozoic Era  Pangaea forms (240 million years ago)  First mammal (220 million years ago)  First bird (155 million years ago)  Flowering plants (120 million years ago)  Dinosaurs (75 million years ago) ENDED WITH…? Geologic Time Scale Order

Phanerozoic Eon – Cenozoic Era  Horses (55 million years ago)  Whales (52 million years ago)  Dogs (37 million years ago)  Cats (25 million years ago)  Mammoths & Elephants (5 million years ago)  Ice Ages in North America (1 million years ago)  Neanderthal man (0.5 million years ago)  First modern man (0.09 million years ago) Geologic Time Scale Order
