Name a geological period, era or epoch
How many answers can you give to “Name a geological period, era or epoch”? OnlyClick knows 50 of them, and rewards the ones other people miss. The answers that come to mind first are Jurassic, Cretaceous and Triassic. They count, but they keep you close to the ground. It is a fairly short list: only 19 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
The odd entry you read about once tends to score far better than the classroom example. You will find it in stage 31, “Fossil Hunters”, of the Science mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
