I chose Mesozoic because of

I chose Mesozoic because of the dinos.  I just think it would be awesome to see a huge brachiosaurus walking around, as well as all the other large animals.

I chose Precambrian because one doesn't have to worry about palaeontology (much).

The only good fossil is a strain marker Smiling face

Palaeozoic

I chose Palaeozoic because I think most of the interesting things happened during that time. Life gained hard parts, plants and animals moved onto land. Britain gained it's interesting geological areas in the Caledonian and Variscan orogenies and on and on.

Plus I've never lived anywhere that wasn't sited on these rocks (provided you ignore one summer in London!).
