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. The proposed geological epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact an Earth's geology and ecosystems
    Anthropocene
  3. These earliest fossils were produced by layered sedimentary formations created by microorganisms
    Stromatolites
  4. This time period encompasses over 80% of Earth's history
    Pre-Cambrian
  5. Principle of Original Horizontality
    Sediments are deposited in horizontal layers parallel to the surface on which they were deposited
  6. The shortest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale
    Epoch
  7. Geologic period characterized by the mass extinction of approx. 90% of all animal species
    Permian
  8. A common method of dating anything that was once alive
    Radiocarbon Dating
  9. Early molecules that could replicate and store genetic information to make proteins
    RNA-like molecules
  10. The longest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale
    Eon
  11. The gradual change in living things over a long period of time
    Evolution
  12. The Geologic Era in which we live
    Cenozoic
  13. The time it takes for 1/2 of parent isotopes to decay
    Half-life
  14. Experiment that simulated Earth's early conditions that produced amino acids
    Miller-Urey
  15. Principle of Superposition
    In undisturbed sedimentary rock, the oldest rock layers are at the bottom and the youngest at the top
  16. Marked by major changes in the fossil record it's the next to longest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale
    Era
  17. Micro-organism that changed Earth's atmosphere by producing oxygen
    Cyanobacteria/blue-green algae
  18. Which scientist created the modern idea of evolution?
    Charles Darwin
  19. The Geologic Period in which dinosaurs evolved
    Triassic
  20. What is believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs?
    Large asteroid/meteor impact
  21. These animals are thought to be the descendants of the Saurischian dinosaurs
    Birds
  22. Geologic period characterized by dense, swampy forests, which gave rise to large deposits of peat
    Carboniferous
  23. Geologic Era in which the dinosaurs reigned "The Age of the Dinosaurs"
    Mesozoic
  24. Geologic Period characterized by an explosion in the diversity of life
    Cambrian
  25. The process of an isotope breaking down into another isotope
    Radioactive decay
  26. In which Geologic period did the dinosaurs go extinct?
    Cretaceous
  27. When Nature chooses which organisms survive based on their adaptations
    Natural Selection
