Resources for Geologic Time

Slideshow to go with Chapter 14

Greek and Romans found dinosaur fossils too - a podcast on how cultural context influences interpretation of findings

A pretty good geologic time line for 7th graders.  A little more info than you need, but not TOO much!

Can you put together dinosaur bones?  This is a fun paleontology puzzle.
A very pretty pictoral time line with visuals of what the earth may have looked like at all kinds of different points in Earth's history.  Click Start the Journey.  Skip through the introduction to see the much more interesting whole time line.

Lots of fun paleontology activities to do here.

An interactive tutorial on geologic time, including some of the stuff we've already learned (fossils, relative age, absolute age), but worth having another look at anyway.

Big 5 Mass Extinction Events from the BBC - very nice!


Dinosaurs in Denver (Discovery Channel)

Asteroid Theory (National Geographic)











Dinosaurs A to Z - alphabetical list of many dinosaur species
