Visit the virtual exhibits at this site to learn more about paleontology, the history of the earth, and life on earth. Use the information on this site to understand geology, geologic time, evolution, and phylogeny.

For this unit you can learn about the history of our planet Earth. It has 25 interactive activities.

Publication delves into the importance of studying the Earth's history and how we go about doing it. View pictures and diagrams showing the geological time scale and fossil succession.

As part of a larger online exhibit on fossils and what fossils are, this site specifically deals with the formation of fossils. A six-step, detailed chart is provided with specific information explaining each step.

Students examine paleontology, the study of ancient life on Earth. Some topics explored are vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants.

This particular site is part of a larger online exhibit from the Natural History Museum covering various aspects of fossils and fossil research. Here, seven types of fossils are listed and each type is given a picture representation.

Journey into the past while reading this comprehensive overview of the Hadean Eon that covers topics such as the formation of the earth, its surface and atmosphere, fossil evidence, erosion and plate tectonics.

This colorful, interactive site demonstrates how fossils can be used to discover a range of information about the past. Topics include Past Lives, Paleoecology, Geologic History, and Biodiversity.

Journey into the past while reading this comprehensive overview of the Archaean Eon that covers topics such as early continents and oceans, first life on Earth, Earth's atmosphere, fossil evidence, and plate tectonics.

An image gallery of fossils through time. Students choose a time period to see what life was like by studying the fossils.

The focus of this guide is on exploring the massive ancient creatures that roamed the Earth millions of years ago.
