The Precambrian is the informal time before the Cambrian Period.
It is informally called a Super-Eon and certainly not a geological Era.
Geological time intervals from largest to smallest :-
- Super-Eon - AEonothem (informal)
- Eon - Eonothem
- Era - Erathem
- Period - System
- Epoch - Series
- Age - Stage
- Chron - Chronozone (informal)
