Geologic Time & Early Life - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. Experiment that simulated Earth's early conditions that produced amino acids
    Miller-Urey
  2. Principle of Superposition
    In undisturbed sedimentary rock, the oldest rock layers are at the bottom and the youngest at the top
  3. The Geologic Period in which dinosaurs evolved
    Triassic
  4. Principle of Original Horizontality
    Sediments are deposited in horizontal layers parallel to the surface on which they were deposited
  5. The process of an isotope breaking down into another isotope
    Radioactive decay
  6. These animals are thought to be the descendants of the Saurischian dinosaurs
    Birds
  7. The time it takes for 1/2 of parent isotopes to decay

  9. These earliest fossils were produced by layered sedimentary formations created by microorganisms
    Stromatolites
  10. Geologic Era in which the dinosaurs reigned "The Age of the Dinosaurs"

    Carboniferous
  12. This time period encompasses over 80% of Earth's history
    Pre-Cambrian
  13. The Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships
    A rock feature that cuts across another feature must be younger than the rock it cuts
