How old is it? Rock layers, rock clocks, amber and the long story of life, sentence 3

Squeeze Earth's 4.5 billion years into one day and the story is amazing: for most of the day life is only tiny microbes, dinosaurs arrive at about 10.40 at night, vanish at about 11.40, and people turn up a few seconds before midnight.

Who acts: you, story, tiny microbes, people · What happens: squeeze, be, arrive, vanish, turn up · To what, where: 10.40, 11.40
