A 73
D 1 million
C 145
B 17,503
Choose the correct order of events.
C Formation of the Earth and moon, Earliest life, "Lucy" (earliest hominid), Largest mass extinction, Early land plants, and Dinosaur extinction
A Formation of the Earth and moon, Earliest life, Early land plants, Largest mass extinction, Dinosaur extinction, and "Lucy" (earliest hominid)
B Formation of the Earth and moon, Earliest life, Largest mass extinction, Early land plants, Dinosaur extinction, and "Lucy" (earliest hominid)
Given the events in #2, which fossil would you expect to find at the bottom of the geologic record? At the top?
A Lucy at the bottom layer, fossils of earliest life at the top layer
B Dinosaur extinction at the bottom layer, appearance of plants at the top layer
C fossils of earliest life at the bottom layer, Lucy at the top layer
A The oldest is on top and the youngest is on the bottom.
B The oldest is on the bottom and the youngest is on the top.
C The oldest is on top and the youngest is in the middle.
