Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic
There is not many remains of the Precambrian time
because it is one of the newer eons so they can study it still
The Precambrian ended about 541 million years ago.
What evidence shows that the Precambrian atmosphere did not contain oxygen?
There are four eons dividing the geologic scale. Three occurred during the Precambrian era.
Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic
Earth forming from a mass of dust and gas :)
The longest subdivision of geologic time is called an super eon. Super eons make up a REALLY big chunk of time, around 2-4 billion years! There has only been 1 super eon the-Precambrian super eon. The hasn't been any new super eons due to the gap between Precambrian super eon & today-only a few hundred million years.
• PRECAMBRIAN EON (noun)The noun PRECAMBRIAN EON has 1 sense:1. the eon following the Hadean time and preceding the Phanerozoic eon; from about 3,800 million years ago until 544 million years agoFamiliarity information: PRECAMBRIAN EON used as a noun is very rare.your lovely Chloe xxx
Supereon is the longest classification of time in geology. The Precambrian period is a supereon comprised of the Hadean, Archean, and Proterazoic eons.

Precambrian - It extends from 4.6 billion years ago to the beginning of the Cambrian Period (about 541 Ma). It includes three eons, the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic.
The Precambrian is a long period and just as Earth has many climates now, it had many then.

Precambrian is an informal term for the time before the Cambrian Period, the first period of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Precambrian consists of three eons, the Hadean, the Archean, and the Proterozoic. The Hadean Eon is about 760,000,000 years long. The Archean Eon is about 1,300,000,000 years long. The Proterozoic Eon is about 1,960,000,000 years long This comes to a total of 4,025,000,000 years.
Precambrian is BEFORE the Cambrian period!
