Great, although I was thinking of the Late Cretaceous Epoch.
Your turn!

Yay! I didn't know the latin word, so I looked that one up........



I hope that image worked.....

1. Identify its genus.
2. Identify what period it lived in.
3. Suppose the element Spookium (the element of surprise! ) has a half life of 75 million years. If there are 3 grams of Spookium in this specimen currently, how many grams (roughly) would there be when this specimen became extinct?
4. (This isn't part of the rules, so you don't have to do this one) What continent(s) was this specimen found on?

Hmmm... (Click to Show Hidden Text)

1. Glossopteris
2. Permian
3. ~30g Spookium 
4. South America, Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and Asia (on Indian subcontinent)

[Magikarpmaster629]

All correct!


Your turn.

List the four trilobite genuses (geni?) in chronological order.
