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.

    Anthropocene
  3. The Geologic Period in which dinosaurs evolved
    Triassic
  4. A common method of dating anything that was once alive
    Radiocarbon Dating
  5. The shortest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale
    Epoch
  6. The Geologic Era in which we live
    Cenozoic
  7. Geologic period characterized by dense, swampy forests, which gave rise to large deposits of peat
    Carboniferous
  8. The time it takes for 1/2 of parent isotopes to decay
    Half-life
  9. In which Geologic period did the dinosaurs go extinct?
    Cretaceous
  10. The longest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale
    Eon
  11. When Nature chooses which organisms survive based on their adaptations

  12. Which scientist created the modern idea of evolution?
    Charles Darwin
  13. These earliest fossils were produced by layered sedimentary formations created by microorganisms
    Stromatolites
  14. The Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships
    A rock feature that cuts across another feature must be younger than the rock it cuts
  15. This time period encompasses over 80% of Earth's history
    Pre-Cambrian
  16. Marked by major changes in the fossil record it's the next to longest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale

  18. The process of an isotope breaking down into another isotope
    Radioactive decay
  19. Early molecules that could replicate and store genetic information to make proteins
    RNA-like molecules
  20. Principle of Original Horizontality
    Sediments are deposited in horizontal layers parallel to the surface on which they were deposited
