GEOLOGY 204's Class Projects

For their final "hand-in" assignment, the students taking "Evolution of the Earth" (GEOL 204) in the spring semester of 1998 were required to assemble a page of geological history to post on the Oberlin Geology website. Each of the students taking the class chose both a geographic region and a "slice" of geologic time of interest to them, then researched the history of the earth and/or the life living on it in that particular window of space and time. Use this list of students and their projects to link to the pages they came up with.
