Topic: Mya (unit)


  
  Mya (unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In astronomy, geology, and paleontology, mya is an acronym for million years ago and is used as a unit of time to denote length of time before the present.
Like the related unit bya ("billion years ago"), mya is traditionally written in lowercase.
This is different from the related unit Gya, which capitalizes the first letter.

Each State MYA price is based on sales in the months comprising its marketing year, while United States marketing year averages are based on sales during the standard U.S. marketing year for each crop.
United States MYA prices for most crops are computed by weighting State MYA prices by the estimated quantity sold in each State.
State MYA prices for these monthly crops are computed by weighting monthly prices by the monthly percentages of total sales during their marketing year.

 S292 Assessment
Unit 1 is introductory and sets the historical background for theories and studies of human evolution.
Unit 4 is an important foundation unit, because hominine and human evolution are described in later units in the context of modern evolutionary theory.
Unit 6 speculates about possible causes of the 5 major extinction events and about why certain groups survived the mass extinctions, to become the dominant groups subsequently.

 Palaeos Vertebrates: Glossary C-Cg
As used here, the Early Cambrian comprises the Cambrian A epoch (543-520 Mya), Middle Cambrian comprises the Cambrian B and C epochs (in North America, the Montezuman, Dyerian, Delmaran and Marjuman ages, 520-500 Mya), and the Late Cambrian the Cambrian D epoch (the North American Steptoean and Sunwaptan ages, 500-490 Mya).
The Early Carboniferous (354-323 Mya) is known as the Mississippian in North America.
That is, for example, the Ypresian (54.8-49.0 Mya) is the same as the Early Eocene.

For example, 6 MYA TO 4.8 MYA the earth went through one of the most intense cold periods of the Tertiary Period.
Another ocean incursion happened about 4.5 million MYA which was right after the beginning of what we now call the Pliocene Epoch.
During the 4.5 MYA to 3 MYA time period that the Yorktown Formation was formed, there were several periods of both Oceanic and River Reformulation which altered the color of the teeth.

 Palaeos Vertebrates: Glossary J-L
Lepidomorium: the basic unit of squamation and dentition, according to theories of Erik Stensiö (1891-1984) and other members of the Scandanavian School.
However Stensiö's overall theory may stand, it is beyond dispute that (a) he accurately predicted the structure of the lepidomorial unit (since scales of this type are now known from early eugeneodontids and (b) teeth and scales have a great deal in common, both structurally and developmentally.
However, if the combination of speed and geometry is not optimal, the airfoil's anterior surface may absorb enough horizontal momentum per unit time to overcome the motive force (recall that F=dp/dt) of the bird, plane or superman, with unfortunate results.

 Geology and Geomorphology
During the Tertiary (65 to about 1.8 mya) this basin was in-filled, mostly by sediments eroded from the highlands.
The Pliocene (5 – 1.8 mya) was marked by a period of minor uplift of the eastern highlands, resulting in erosion and the formation of gravelly alluvial fans and extensive flood plains sloping towards the south-east of the area.
The Quaternary extends from about 1.8 mya to the present and is subdivided into Pleistocene and Recent (10 000 years ago to the present).

 EVOLUTION UNTI PLAN
I start the unit with the history of life timeline activity because it is important for students to gain an understanding of exactly how long a period we are talking about when we speak of "the history of life on earth".
Since the entire unit is built around facilitated discussions between the students and me, I plan to informally assess students’ understandings every day by observing their behaviors and responses to questions.
The culminating unit test will assess students’ knowledge comprehension and their ability to compare/contrast, reason, and apply concepts learned in class to new/different situations.

 Geologic Time Scale - as 18 galactic rotations
The idea: A nice unit to use when describing earth's planetary history is periods of galactic rotation (250 million years).
The general idea: If one's measuring units get much smaller than the objects of interest, developing a feel for the objects requires a feel for relations among annoyingly large (representation) numbers.
For instance, the Devonian period was 410 to 360 MYA, or 50 MY beginning at 410 MYA, with an earth lifetime of 4500 MY.

These preceded the Pleistocene (2 mya to 10,000 years ago) and Holocene (10,000 years ago to present) epochs of the Quaternary Period.
