    Fossils of pre-historic plants and animals were used as markers to help build up the geologic time scale. The geologic time scale is a calendar of events in Earth's history that provides a chronological system of measurement relating rock layers to periods of time, which is used by geologists and paleontologists to study the timeline of life on Earth. Rocks from the Proterozoic Eon contain fossils of simple organisms, while rocks from the Phanerozoic Eon contain fossils of more complex plants and animals like dinosaurs.

    GEOLOGIC

    TIMELINE
    FOSSILS
    Remains or evidence of pre-historic
    plants and animals that have fossilized.

    They were used as


    markers when
    building up the
    geologic time scale.
    • The names of most of the EONS and ERAS
    end in “ ZOIC”
    • Rocks formed during the Proterozoic Eon
    have fossil evidence of simple organisms
    such as bacteria, algae and wormlike
    animals.
    • In the Phanerozoic Eon, the rocks formed
    have fossils of animals and plants such as
    dinosaurs, mammals and trees
    THE GEOLOGIC TIME SCALE:
    -Calendar of events in Earth’s history
    - It provides a system of chronologic measurement
    relating stratigraphy to time that is used by
    geologists, paleontologists, and other Earth
    scientist
