BIOLOGY 2 PROTEROZOIC EON (2.

5 BYA)
- Scientists estimated that the Earth is about 4.6 - Adjustments above the Earth’s crust
Billion Years Ago according to the evidence of - Earth was filled with greenhouse gasses until
rocks in the crust and remains of meteorites. 1.8 BYA as oxygen level in the atmosphere
rose.
GEOLOGIC TIME SCALE - Eukaryotic cells appeared.
- Is the time scale or the Calendar of the events - The ancestral eukaryotes which became large
in Earth and serves as a portfolio divided into organisms begin to diversified.
different parts of the events on earth.
PHANEROZOIC EON (540 MYA - PRESENT)
EONS, ERAS, PERIODS, EPOCHS, AGES - Begin its name means visible life, In this eon
(descending order of duration) life really became obvious, it is the eons that
homes the trees, dinosaur, us humans and
EONS basically the life that we know.
-Are the largest slices of time ranging from a
half billion to nearly 2 billion years long. PALEOZOIC ERA
01 Hadean - Paleo means ancient or early while zoic means
02 Archean life.
03 Proterozoic - lasted for 300 million years
04 Phanerozoic - organisms emerged were invertebrates or
animals without backbones
PRECAMBRIAN EON DIVIDED INTO 7 PERIODS
HADEAN EON (4.6 BYA) 1. Permian period (298.9 MYA)
-Solidification of the earths continental and 2. Pennsylvanian Period (323.2 MYA)
oceaning crust - eons that has no fossils or trace 3. Mississippian Period (358. 9 MYA)
of life. 4. Devonian Period (419.2 MYA)
ARCHEAN EON (4 BYA) 5. Silurian Period (443. 8 MYA)
- Stromatolites are the oldest fossil ever 6. Ordovician Period (485.4 MYA)
recorded 7. Cambrian Period (541.0 MYA)
- was when earth had cooled down enough for
the first sign of life to appear END CAUSED BY THE GREAT DYING - VOLCANIC
- atmosphere was filled with carbon dioxide but ERUPTION AND METEORS
signs of cyanobacteria have changed this
condition. MESOZOIC ERA
WHAT ARE STROMATOLITES - Meso meaning middle
- blue-green algae which are known as the -Lasted 180 Million years
earliest form of life. (Mostly found in lakes or -Age of the dinosaurs
bodies of water)
- Nectar drinking insects, birds, flowering plants
and mammals
- exitinction cause by the cretaceous-paleogene
(K-Pg) extinction
1. Cretaceous Period (145. 0 MYA)
2. Jurassic Period (201.3 MYA)
3. Triassic Period (252.0 MYA)

CENOZOIC ERA
- Ceno means latest
- Began 85 million years ago until present
- Age of mammals
- the ICE AGE HAPPENED DURING THE
PLEISTOCENE PERIOD.

DIVIDED INTO 7 PERIODS

1. Holocene Period (0.01 MYA)
2. Pleistocene Period (2.6 MYA)
3. Pliocene Period (5.3 MYA)
4. Miocene Period (23.0 MYA)
5. Oligocene Period (33.9 MYA)
6. Eocene Period (56.0 MYA)
7. Paleocene Period (66.0 MYA)
