  1. Cenozoic era: Tertiary (Paleogene, Neogene), Quaternary (Pleistocene, Holocene) periods. Campbell puts Pleistocene, Holocene epochs in Neogene period.
  2. Permian-Triassic extinction: "occurred at the time of enormous volcanic eruptions" Siberia, also Pangea, super-ocean Panthalassa, millions Y before extinction,
    continental area exceeded that of oceanic area for the first time in geological history.
  3. Banded iron in marine sediments: 3.5-2.7 billion YA, then terrestrial rocks oxidized due to atmospheric oxygen.
  4. Plastids (ch5). Amyloplasts are colorless plastids that store starch (amylose), particularly in roots and tubers.
