# What the Earth was like Timelapse made using [**11 paleogeography maps**](http://www.stromboidea.de/?n=People.RonBlakey) from Prof. Ron Blakey (NAU Geology). > *Paleogeographic maps portray immense amounts of data in a single view. When used in time sequence, they show trend and pattern through geologic time.* Here, the timelapse depicts Earth geological evolution from the Early Jurassic until current epoch: * Early Jurassic (-200 Ma) * Middle Jurassic (-170 Ma) * Late Jurassic (-150 Ma) * Early Cretaceous (-120 Ma) [[See the Sketchfab model](https://sketchfab.com/models/6678aed9091248158061c847ee409c10)] * Middle Cretaceous (-105 Ma) * Upper Cretaceous (-90 Ma, Turonian) * Cretaceous - Tertiary boundary (-65 Ma, Maastrichtian/Danian) * Eocene (-50 Ma) * Oligocene (-35 Ma) * Miocene (-20 Ma) * Holocene (Present) --- Model prepared following the steps described on [Sketchfab's Help Center](https://help.sketchfab.com/hc/en-us/articles/203058018-Animations#timeframe).
