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. The Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships
    A rock feature that cuts across another feature must be younger than the rock it cuts
  2. These earliest fossils were produced by layered sedimentary formations created by microorganisms
    Stromatolites
  3. Principle of Original Horizontality

  4. Experiment that simulated Earth's early conditions that produced amino acids
    Miller-Urey
  5. A common method of dating anything that was once alive
    Radiocarbon Dating
  6. The Geologic Period in which dinosaurs evolved
