Geologic Time Scale & Fossils.

     
  In class today we have to tell what we know about the Geologic Time Scale & Fossils.


                                                            Geologic Scale:

What I know about the Geologic Time Scale is that time on Earth is long, and life on earth is short. The Geologic Time Scale is the measure of how long the Earth has been around. 



Here is the list of the Geologic Time Scale: 


 Cenozoic Era:                                         Mnemonic Device.

Pleistocene (rose of man).                           Put.
Eocene (primitive horses).                           Everything.
Oligocene (1sr primates).                            On.
Miocene (Apes).                                           My.
Pliocene (first man).                                     Philly.
Paleocene (rise of mammals).                     Please.
Holocene (modern man).                             Hannah.

&


Paleozoic Era:

Cambrian.                                                   Come.
Oroovician.                                                  Over.
Silvrian.                                                       Some.
Devonian.                                                    Day.
Missippian.                                                  Maybe.
Pennsylavania.                                           Play.
Permain.                                                     Poker.
Triassic.                                                      Two.
Jurassic.                                                     Jacks.
Cretaceous.                                               Cover.
Tertiary.                                                      Two.
Quaternary.                                                Queens.

                                                                   Fossils: 

                       Fossils are remains of once was living. (animals, plants, other organisms).

                                         Here are the many different types of fossils: 


                                                                      Foraminifera:
                                                        (microscopic critters).

                                                                       Trilobites:
                                                        (animal dies in rock).

                                                                  Petrified Wood:
                                        (water soaked in wood, replacement fossil).

So, in class today we got to make fossil imprints. And the one that worked out the best was the one with seventy-five percent of plaster, and twenty-five percent of sand.

Here is the end result:

Jessie's fossil worked out the best in your group!

I don't know if you can tell, but there is a imprint of a shell in the plaster.

Time is everything in this world. Time is our way of scheduling everything. If we didn't have it, life would be chaotic.

Geological Time is the measure of how long the earth has been around.

"Geologic time scale" by Jason Dee - My Commentary.

Jason Dee "Geologic Time Scale."

Jason Dee is very witty and creative song writer that came up with a song about the Geologic Time scale. 



Here is the link to his video:

After watching the video, I think his song is a neat way to learn the Geologic Scale because it's catchy even though some of it is hard to follow, but overall it was entertaining.



My favorite part would have to be at the end when he says: 

"Thank you Nicholous Steno for coming up with this crappo, I hope you are driving a Pento".  

"If I had a 100 dollars."

"If everything in the universe was spread out as money: how would you divide them among the planets." -Mitchell Klett.
