Geochronology, derived from geo and Of the layer
chronology that means rock and time Such a brilliant guy we got there!
Diff’rent principles, describing rock layers, and
the things in the past Principle of lateral continuity,
You’ll learn them real fast. Superposition, horizontality
My, my, what was deposited first?
First Eons, Next Eras, Then there’s Periods and Bottom layer, it is the oldest

Who is curious to see? Principles of Geology
What it’s like in the past Cross-cutting relationships & inclusion principle
(There were dinosaurs before we humans
came) Then after, Charles Darwin had a principle
Hey everybody let’s go It is the theory/ of natural selection
Inside that time machine Oh oh oh
(But at what time, at what time scale?)
Chorus:
That’s not a problem, geologic time is here to Evolutions, changes over time
help us My my,thank you geologic time scale
Let’s unravel life’s history Mamma mia, what do we do without u
