Nigel Marven reading the time map. (Dangerous Seas)
The time map is a large map of all the geological periods of Earth's history. This map was used by Nigel Marven to help him search for the seven deadliest seas ever.
Uses
The specific use of the time map is unknown. Its most clear use was to give Nigel a guide to all of the geological periods and the organisms that existed during that time zone.
It is also speculated that the time map was also used as a mean of time travel as no time-traveling technology was shown in Sea Monsters.
