Geologic Timescale

=Geologic Timescale=

Hydronian Period (Week 0)
4,000 Million Years Long

Huggian Period (Week 1)
100 Million Years Long

Maps
In the first week, the urorganism "Protosagania" evolved into different species via adaptive radiation. In this period the different kingdoms formed and spread over the globe. At the end of this period some higher evolved organisms originated. At the end of this week a solar flare wiped out the most of the organisms. This era lasted approx. 100 million years.

Ovian Period (Week 2)
100 Million Years Long

Maps
The second week lasted as long as the first one. During this period primitive plants adapted to the land followed by primitive animals and a group of lifeforms, which are both animals and plants. In the seas fish-like animals evolved. On land the first animal laying hard-shelled eggs appeared. At the end of this era a giant ice meteor hit the planet, which caused a mass extinction and a rise of the sea level.

Krakowian Period (Week 3)
50 Million Years Long

Maps
The Krakowian Period lasted approx. 50 million years. While some fishlike animals adapted to live on land complex food chains developed on land. While animals were either herbivores or omnivores in the Ovian Period, now real carnivores appeared. Along with that a new group of animals from the deep sea adapted to live on the surface of the water.

Yoktonian Period (Week 4)
50 Million Years Long

Maps
This period lasted approx. 50 million years. This period features the first large creature. On land forests started to form, which raised the variety of species.

Rhodixian Period (Week 5)
50 Million Years Long

Maps
The fifth week lasted approx. 50 million years long. In this era all the landmasses form one single continent similar to Pangaea. The most notable event in this period is the appearance of a small simple plant, which grows very fast and covers nearly everything. Because it spread over the hole planet it influenced the evolution of the other organisms highly. Another very interesting species was a tree, which seeds were flammable and had to burn to allow reproduction.

Flischian Period (Week 6)
25 Million Years Long

Maps
The Flischian Period lasted 25 million years long. The life on the planet began to specialize. In this time the first organism living only in the air appeared and many of the organisms evolved symbiosis or parasitism.

Irinyan Period (Week 7)
25 Million Years Long

Maps
This period lasted approx. 25 million years. A new group of organisms, so-called Crystal Shrubs -part plant, part fungus-, discover the land. Also the ecosystem in the atmosphere extended and the polar regions became inhabited. In this period the largest organism from all times evolved: a crystal shrub, which can grow up to 1000 meters.

Ladymian Period (Week 8)
12.5 Million Years Long

Maps
The eighth week lasted approx. 12.5 million years. Now the single landmass split into two continents named Glicker and Wright. The fresh water bodies became filled with life and the huge crystal shrubs formed hole ecosystems. A special generation features nothing but microorganisms, which were disregarded as background species in the earlier weeks.

Russian Period (Week 9)
12.5 Million Years Long

Maps
The Russian Period lasted approx. 12.5 million years. The different continents Glicker and Wright featured different kinds of organisms and habitats. The most interesting lifeform from this period is an animal, which uses its tongue as a paraglider.

Nukean Period (Week 10)
12.5 Million Years Long

Maps
This period lasted approx. 12.5 million years. While the crystal shrubs evolved into many different species a plague wiped out some of the predators on the eastern continent. Another virus killed all the flora in the eastern reef. The most interesting species in this era is a plant made of small cubes, which can move independently inside the plant thus allowing the plant to change into different shapes.

Biocatian Period (Week 11)
12.5 Million Years Long

Maps
The eleventh week lasted approx. 12.5 million years. This week it happened the first time, that two related species evolve into one species by interbreeding. Also this time was another special generation, which contained nothing but microorganisms. The most interesting species from this time is a worm-like animal, which uses its wings as sunlight collectors, so that the animal can draw energy from the sunlight much like a plant.

Ferretian Period (Week 12)
12.5 Million Years Long
