How long did the PreCambrian era last?
The Precambrian Era. The name means: "before the Cambrian period." This old, but still common term was originally used to refer to the whole period of earth's history before the formation of the oldest rocks with recognizable fossils in them. In the last few decades, however, geologists have found that there are some hard-to-discern fossils in some Precambrian rocks, so this period is now also known as the Cryptozoic or "obscure life" Eon (from the words "crypt" = "hidden," and "zoon" = "life"). The Precambrian covers almost 90% of the entire history of the Earth. It has been divided into three eras: the Hadean, the Archean and the Proterozoic. Source: Unknown The Precambrian Era comprises all of geologic time prior to 600 million years ago. The Precambrian was originally defined as the era that predated the emergence of life in the Cambrian Period. It is now known, however, that life on Earth began by the early Archean and that fossilized organisms became more and more abundant throughout Precambrian time. The two major subdivisions of the last part of the Precambrian are the Archean (oldest) and the Proterozoic. Rocks younger than 600 Ma are considered part of the Phanerozoic.
What were the dominant animals in the preCambrian era?
The dominant organisms during the Precambrian include the proarticulatans, such as Dickinsonia, Yorgia, and Praecambridium which were a group of "air-mattress" organisms possibly related to modern day placozoans, rangeomorphs, such as Rangea, and Charnia, which were frond-shaped organisms that had bilateral to radial symmetries, and the trilobozoans, like Tribrachidium, which were disk-like organisms with a tri-radial symmetry, possibly related to cnidarians.The ancestral mollusk, Kimberellia, is found throughout Precambrian strata of the world.There were also sponges, and what have been interpreted as the polyps and medusae of cnidarians during the Precambrian, as well. Very primitive worms and arthropods appear at the very end of the Precambrian, as it transitions into the Cambrian period.

For which segment of the Earth's geologic history are fossils rarely found?
precambrian
Where in the fossil record can you find fossils of the oldest life forms?
The fossils of the oldest life forms can be found in the Precambrian period of the fossil record.
Why is Precambrian history more difficult to study than more recent geological history?
Precambrian history is more difficult to study because the rocks from this era have undergone significant alteration and destruction over billions of years, making them harder to interpret. Also, the lack of well-preserved fossils in Precambrian rocks makes it challenging to reconstruct ancient environments and ecosystems accurately. Additionally, the vast timescale of the Precambrian era poses difficulties in accurately dating events and establishing a precise chronology of geological events.
One reason fossils are rarely found in Precambrian rocks is that?
Precambrian rocks contain relatively fewer fossils than rocks from different eras. This may be due to the fact that the rocks from this era were subject to a lot of heat and pressure, or were exposed to erosion.
Why can precambrian time not to be divided into periods by using fossils?
Precambrian time, which spans from the formation of the Earth about 4.6 billion years ago to roughly 541 million years ago, lacks distinct fossil records that characterize later geological periods. Most organisms during this time were simple and microscopic, primarily consisting of bacteria and single-celled organisms, making it difficult to establish clear stratigraphic boundaries. Additionally, the scarcity and preservation issues of Precambrian fossils hinder the ability to identify specific intervals or periods like those found in the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras. As a result, the Precambrian is often divided into eons rather than periods.
Clues to which organisms lived in different eras are found in?

What organisms are found in doushantuo rock formations?
The Doushantuo rock formations contain diverse microfossils such as acritarchs, algal cysts, and filamentous microfossils. They also contain early animal embryos, including some of the earliest known animal fossils like sponge embryos and eggs of early animals. Additionally, these formations preserve unique organic-walled fossils, providing insights into early life forms during the Ediacaran period.
What idea of Darwin's based on fossils and the modern organisms he found basically says that genetic are inherited by later organisms?
The ideas of descent with modification are based on fossils and the modern organisms he found basically says that genetic changes are inherited by later generations.
Most early hominid fossils have been found in?
The oldest humanoid fossils were all found in Africa.
Why were so few fossils found from the precambrian period?
There are many fossils from the Pre-Cambrian but most are microscopic, single celled organisms. Later life forms became larger but were soft bodied which did not fossilise except under certain conditions.
Why are sedimentary rocks the only rocks with fossils?
Fossils are the hard remnant material of living organisms and hard evidence can be found from the fossils of early phanerozoic. During the early stages of formation of the earth it is supposed to consist of Igneous rocks only. Refer to the major processes of fossilization and it is found that fossils are usually related to areas nearby streams and basins (organisms require water for survival) and hence the only form of rocks can be sedimentary. In the case of metamorphic rock the remnants cannot sustain temp. and pressure changes and deform leaving no traces.
