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. Geologic period characterized by dense, swampy forests, which gave rise to large deposits of peat
    Carboniferous
  2. The time it takes for 1/2 of parent isotopes to decay
    Half-life
  3. Principle of Superposition
    In undisturbed sedimentary rock, the oldest rock layers are at the bottom and the youngest at the top
  4. What is believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?
    Large asteroid/meteor impact
  5. Experiment that simulated Earth's early conditions that produced amino acids
    Miller-Urey
  6. When Nature chooses which organisms survive based on their adaptations
    Natural Selection
  7. Principle of Original Horizontality
    Sediments are deposited in horizontal layers parallel to the surface on which they were deposited
  8. Early molecules that could replicate and store genetic information to make proteins
    RNA-like molecules
  9. Which scientist created the modern idea of evolution?
    Charles Darwin
  10. Marked by major changes in the fossil record it's the next to longest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale

    Cyanobacteria/blue-green algae
  13. The process of an isotope breaking down into another isotope
    Radioactive decay
  14. The shortest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale
    Epoch
  15. These earliest fossils were produced by layered sedimentary formations created by microorganisms

    Cambrian
  23. These animals are thought to be the descendants of the Saurischian dinosaurs
    Birds
  24. The Principle of Cross-Cutting Relationships
    A rock feature that cuts across another feature must be younger than the rock it cuts
  25. The longest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale
    Eon
  26. A common method of dating anything that was once alive
    Radiocarbon Dating
  27. Geologic period characterized by the mass extinction of approx. 90% of all animal species
