According to the stratigraphic system which was eventually used by Scottish geologist Charles Lyell, the Paleozoic Era extends over which of the following time periods (as currently defined)? the Cenozoic Era, from the end of the Cretaceous into the Tertiary and Quaternary Periods the “age of reptiles”, from 251 million years ago to 65 million years ago the “age of birds and mammals”, from 65 million years ago to the present day the “age of fishes”, from 542 million years ago to 251 million years ago the Mesozoic Era, from the start of the Triassic into the Cretaceous Period

For this activity, you will be reviewing the geological time scale in the module readingassignment from the Geological Time chapter in the PRI Digital Atlas of Ancient Life –online textbook and the Earth History chapter from the OER Commons Earth ScienceTextbook. Use the images of the geologic time scales in your readings to help you makeyour Geologic Time Scale concept sketch nstructions:Sketch and label a geologic time scale. Include dates of the following events in EarthHistory on your time scale in the appropriate time period (you may have to look these up onthe internet but most are listed in your readings). First appearance of free oxygen in the atmosphere Earliest fossils Oldest animal fossils Great Dying Extinction (worst mass extinction at end of the Permian Period) – alsoexplain possible causes of this extinctionArchaeopteryx sp. appeared First Flowering PlantsTyrannosaurus rex appeared K-T Extinction event (Dinosaurs died out) – also explain possible causes of…
The Precambrian is characterized by several major evolutionary milestones. Which of the following is a significant event that occurred during this time? The diversification of flowering plants The first appearance of dinosaurs The first appearance of photosynthetic organisms A mass extinction caused by a meteorite impact.
The great apes made their first appearance in the fossil record between 23 and 2.6 MYA, which: represents the starting and ending dates for the Paleogene Period represents the starting and ending dates for the Cretaceous Period represents the starting and ending dates for the Jurassic Period represents the starting and ending dates for the Neogene Period represents the starting and ending dates for the Triassic Period
Which of these geologic time periods have been defined by a major extinction event? Select all that apply. Permian Jurassic Quaternary Cretaceous Cambrian
It has been suggested that the current time should be made into a different period. In other words, it should not have been part of the Holocene period due to the extreme changes man has made to the earth. If you were a scientist tasked to give a name to the period of today what name would you give it and why?
The first interval of Earths existence is called the ________. a. Cambrian c. Proterozoic eon b. Hadean eon d. Archean eon
The largest and most deadly of all Mass Extinctions in the history of Earth came at the end of the Period, when only 5% of the existing species survived. Nobody knows exactly what caused this event, so it remains a mystery to this day. Quaternary Devonian Ordovician Permian
Earth’s history is divided into unequal time intervals. The boundaries between the intervals mark significant geological (very early Earth) or evolutionary events on Earth’s history. Example: The boundary between the Precambrian eon and the Phanerozoic eon is marked by the rapid evolution and diversification of organisms with hard body parts. The time intervals are eons, which are subdivided into eras. The eras are subdivided into periods. The periods are further subdivided into epochs (not shown on figure). What is our current eon ______________, era _______________, and period _______________ Age boundary between the Hadean eon and Archean eon __________________ Age boundary between Archean eon and Proterozoic eon __________________ Age boundary between Proterozoic eon and Phanerozoic eon ________________ Age boundary between Paleozoic era and Mesozoic era ____________________ Age boundary between Mesozoic era and Cenozoic era ____________________ What…
The Cenozoic Era is often referred to as the "Age of Mammals". What primary geological and evolutionary events that occurred during this era led to this classification? The rise of flowering plants and the associated increase in insect populations The diversification and dominance of dinosaurs The extinction of non-bird dinosaurs and the subsequent adaptive radiation of mammals The first appearance of multicellular life
