Geological Time

Just wondering if anyone has any really good methods on how to memorise the geological eras of time? I do know them all but (as I've only just learnt about most of them) can't always remember them all at once!

 

Thanks for your help :)

We've got more for all different types of Geological memorisation, although I confess most we came up with whilst drunk and bored of revision so they may not make sense. If you do need any more sill rhymes to help then just yell Smiling face
