Big Al's mnemonics for the layers of rock in Great Britain

Hi Big Al
I know a good mnemonic for the layers of rock in Great Britain. Your entry appears to have layers of rock in the USA.
This was taught to me by my husband, who was once a geography teacher:
Camels Often Sit Down Carefully; Perhaps Their Joints Creak. Early Oiling Might Prevent Permanent Rheumatism.
Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene, Recent.
Best wishes from a fellow teacher

Thanks Pongo, I'll add that (Don't think I realised that there was a difference between USA and GB)
