...ond before midnight Geologic time as the distance from Los Angeles to New York City: The distance from LA to NYC is approximately 4500 kilometers (km). Therefore, each kilometer represents one million years of Earth history. Look at a map of the United States. Start the geologic time journey in LA. Precambrian would last until Pittsburgh Paleozoic would be entirely in Pennsylvania Mesozoic would get us to New Jersey, only 66 km from NYC. The most recent Ice Age ended about 10,000 years ago. 10,000 years = 1/100 of a million years = 10 meters. The past 2000 years of history would be represented by a sidewalk (...

...an be very useful, the cheap ones ($2-$5) are very durable and just as good as the more expensive kinds for most purposes. I think the student feels more like an explorer or scientist with a hand lens to magnify the very small but often abundant fossils. Hammers are overrated and usually do more damage than good in most activities. Fossil material - This can be a real problem. Fossil collections from Wards Scientific or similar businesses are often expensive and inadequate for use by more than two or three students at a time. They are also easily damaged and lost. I advise using disposable material if at all...

...wever, covers millions of years, and must be measured by physical evidence. One important way to measure geologic time is by studying the remains of creatures that died over various eras and left behind their impressions in stone as fossils. The geologic time table is divided into four major eras - Precambrian (which means origin of life), Paleozoic (ancient life), Mesozoic (intermediate life), and Cenozoic (recent life). Those eras are further divided into periods with characteristic fossils and rock formations. Fossils are the remains or traces of organisms of a past geologic age buried in the earth's crust...
