It seems to me that the "Time: 157 Ma" part is not very necessary. We already have time displayed below in the Cesium canvas. Maybe we can remove the time label and input control. Instead, we allow use to press the time widget below in the Cesium canvas and set paleo-age.

What do you think? @nickywright @mariaseton @matthewmerkas @yiyanw

There are three components in the widget and they wrap if there isn't enough space. Looks like the width is just narrow enough to push them all onto separate lines.

I agree that having both is kinda redundant and we should remove the label + input in the widget.

Having the age input on the canvas would be really slick actually but we'd need to reconsider onclick behaviour. We could (1) keep current behaviour (toggle widget) and add an edit button which activates/shows the input. Or, as I would prefer, we could (2) activate/show the input onclick and revert to toggling the widget with the clock button only.

At lease the "Time:" label should go. People who use this app should know that 157Ma means paleo-age.
