Historical  Geology  

Precambrian  (which  can  be  divided  into  Archeozoic  and  Proterozoic  eras):    The  Precambrian  Era  began  4.6  billion  years  ago,  when  life  first  appeared.  Life-­‐forms  present  were  cyanobacteria,  invertebrates  –  jellyfish,  marine  worms.    The  Precambrian  Era  was  the  longest  era.    It  produced  very  few  fossils.    Bacteria  formed  O2,  Ozone  (O3)  began  to  develop,  and  the  atmosphere  began  to  form.

Paleozoic:    The  Paleozoic  Era  (the  age  of  marine  invertebrates)  is  the  second  oldest  era  of  our  Earth's  history.  Paleozoic  means  "Ancient  Life"  and  lasted  345  million  years.  This  is  the  first  era  in  which  scienSsts  have  found  numerous  fossils.  It  began  about  600  million  years  ago  with  the  first  trilobites,  a  small,  shelled  sea  creature  resembling  a  modern  crab.  The  Paleozoic  is  called  the  "Age  of  Fish".    The  conSnents  were  all  connected  into  one  huge  landmass  called  Pangaea  during  the  early  Paleozoic.

Mesozoic:    Mesozoic  means  "Middle  Life"  and  began  about  225  million  years  ago  and  ended  about  70  million  years  ago.  This  era  is  called  the  "Age  of  the  RepSles".  The  era  started  with  the  rise  of  the  dinosaurs.  The  first  birds  were  evolved  during  the  Mesozoic.  The  end  of  the  Mesozoic  was  marked  by  the  exSncSon  of  the  dinosaurs.

Cenozoic:    The  Cenozoic  Era  is  also  called  the  "Age  of  the  Mammals".  It  began  about  65  million  years  ago  as  the  great  lizards,  the  dinosaurs  became  exSnct.  This  led  to  a  rise  in  the  mammal  populaSon.  We  are  currently  living  in  the  Cenozoic  Era,  the  Quarternary  Period  and  the  Holocene  Epoch.
