I need a definitive guide that sums up all the facts about earth formation, species emergence and evolution, the 5 great extinctions all in geological time scales. It would be most helpful if it focuses a little about human evolution. I don't need an academic text book that treats the above as studying material, I merely need a book that satisfies my curiosity.
One of my favorite aspects of paleontology is just how different the Earth can be across time, I'm curious which period is the most interesting to others
My buddy and I have been talking about this for days. What is everyoneβs favorite geologic period or epoch for paleo research and why?
What do you guys use to remember the geologic time scale?
