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.

    Carboniferous
  20. The Geologic Era in which we live
    Cenozoic
  21. The process of an isotope breaking down into another isotope
    Radioactive decay
  22. Principle of Superposition
