Oxygen entering Earths atmosphere

Mar 21, 1902

3.5 billion years ago oxygen entered the earths atmosphere. Early bacterial life introduced oxygen to the atmosphere.

First sign of life

Mar 21, 1903

3.4 billion years ago was the first sign of life on earth.

First eukaryote

Mar 21, 1904

2.1 billion years ago was the first eukaryote that ever exsisted on earth.

First Homosaipen

Mar 21, 1905

1.8 billion years ago was the first homosaipen said to be found on earth.

First multi celluar organism

Mar 21, 1906

600 million years ago the first multicellular organism was found.

Ordovician Silurian mass extinction

Mar 21, 1907

443.8 million years ago the mass extinction Ordovician-Silurian took place. this was the third largest extinction in Earth's history, the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction had two peak dying times separated by hundreds of thousands of years. During the Ordovician, most life was in the sea, so it was sea creatures such as trilobites, brachiopods and graptolites that were drastically reduced in number.

Late Devonian mass extinction

Mar 21, 1908

375 million years ago Late Devoninan took place. which is a mass exstinction. Three quarters of all species on Earth died out in the Late Devonian mass extinction, though it may have been a series of extinctions over several million years, rather than a single event.

Pangea

Mar 21, 1909

270 million years ago Pangea was formed.

Mass extinction of Permian

Mar 21, 1910

250 million years ago the mass extinction of permian took place. The Permian mass extinction has been nicknamed The Great Dying, since a staggering 96% of species died out. All life on Earth today is descended from the 4% of species that survived.

Pnagea began breaking

Mar 21, 1911

200 million years ago panegea began breaking up.

Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction

Mar 21, 1912

65 million years ago the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction took place. The Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction - also known as the K/T extinction - is famed for the death of the dinosaurs. However, many other organisms perished at the end of the Cretaceous including the ammonites, many flowering plants and the last of the pterosaurs.

Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction

Mar 21, 1913

18 million years ago the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction took place. During the final 18 million years of the Triassic period, there were two or three phases of extinction whose combined effects created the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction event. Climate change, flood basalt eruptions and an asteroid impact have all been blamed for this loss of life.
