Travel through time as exhibit goes from 4.6 billion years and brings you to present time |
It starts with the birth of Earth about 4.7 billon years ago.
Each of the panels describe what the Earth would have looked like.
The first room goes back through 700 million years, before life
exploded on our planet (Proterozoic including the Precambrian).
The second room looks at the evolution of life from the Mesozoic to
the Cenozoic. Fossils of
this time can be seen in the Wes Gordon Fossil Hall.
The surface of our Earth has changed many times over its existence.
Understanding the natural evolution of our planets has taken many
human years, and we still do not know what everything means.
Look through
various microscopes and see creatures that become fossils
including
diatoms, foraminifers, and radiolarians.
These aquatic creatures have fascinating structures that are only
visible under a microscope.
They give us clues of how life
evolved.
