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
  5. Geologic period characterized by the mass extinction of approx. 90% of all animal species
    Permian
  6. What is believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?
    Large asteroid/meteor impact
  7. Micro-organism that changed Earth's atmosphere by producing oxygen
    Cyanobacteria/blue-green algae
  8. This time period encompasses over 80% of Earth's history
    Pre-Cambrian
  9. The longest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale
