Fossils are the remains, traces, or Fossils are the remains, traces, or imprints of ancient organisms. By imprints of ancient organisms. By studying rock layers and the fossils within studying rock layers and the fossils within them, geologists can reconstruct aspects of them, geologists can reconstruct aspects of Earth’s history and interpret ancient Earth’s history and interpret ancient environments.environments.

Earth’s History as a Clock• Fossils found in rock layers tell the history
of life on Earth. The history of life can be compared to 12 hours on a clock.

The geologic time scale enables scientists to find relationships among the
geological events, environmental conditions,
and fossilized life-forms that are preserved in the rock
record.

The end of the Mesozoic is marked by a large extinction
event. Many groups of organisms became extinct,
including the non-avian dinosaurs and large marine
reptiles.

During the era that followed the Mesozoic—the Cenozoic—mammals
increased both in number and diversity. Human ancestors, the first
primates, emerged in the epoch called the Paleocene, and modern humans appeared in the Pleistocene Epoch.

Scientists organize geologic time to help them communicate about Earth’s history.
Scientists organize geologic time into eons, eras, periods, and epochs.
Scientists divide time into units based on fossils of plants and animals.

The Precambrian makes up nearly 90 percent of geologic time.
The geologic time scale changes as scientists learn more about Earth.
