Igneous, Metamorphic. Dimetrodon on LEFT: no scales, related to synapsid mammals.
Plesiosaur not dinosaurs (terrestrial diapsid archosaur).
Placoderm armoured fish
Ammonite: Mollusca, Cephalopoda - octopus, nautilus.
Geological Phanerozoic=.5 BYA. Archaen prokaryote; Proterozoic euk/multi. Ignore epochs. Fungi not shown?
clock This clock actually 5 BY. H. sapiens 160KYA. Phanerozoic eon last 3 eras. Universe 14 B?

drift This is Phanerozoic eon; Pangaea: Permian; breakup mid-Mesozoic. Gulf Stream warms Europe.
extinctions Discovery-MiraclePlanet/4_ExtinctionRebirth/#5:00 (QE501 .B8182) Permian volcanic eruptions.
Ordovician seems largest extinction? Tertiary=Paleogene + Neogene.

  • Linnaeus Sweden
  • Eutherian: young complete their embryonic development in a uterus within the mother’s body.
    Star-nosed mole tiny eyes, paws like breaststroke; star consists of 22 rays surround nostrils, appendages in feeding on earthworms, insect larvae.
  • Common names: jellyfish (cnidarian), crayfish (crustacean), silverfish (insect) starfish (echinoderm).
  • Felis silvestris catus: named F. catus by Linnaeus. Panthera leo, P. tigris; Puma concolor. A group of cats: clowder, male cat tom, female queen.
  • Clades: skippers Superfamily Hesperioidea but not moths? toads; Family Alligatoridae Caimans; Gryllidae crickets;
    Hedgehog gene: embryos covered with denticles (small pointy projections), like a hedgehog.
  • Strata: stratosphere 17-50 km between troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere, ionosphere.
  • Aurora: Roman goddess of dawn, Greek Eos.
