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.
When did Precambrian Time begin?
The Precambrian period was from 4600 million years ago to about 542 million years ago.
What are the prehistoric eras?
There are so far 4 Eras in the earths history. the one that started the beginning if the earths history: Precambrian Time. The one after that was the Paleozoic Era, which means "ancient life." next was mesozoic which means "middle life" the one we are in is called the Cenozoic Era which means" recent life." * All Eras ended with a mass extinction.
How many eras were there in Ancient Rome?
There were three main eras in Ancient Rome: the Roman Kingdom (753–509 BC), the Roman Republic (509–27 BC), and the Roman Empire (27 BC–476 AD). The Roman Kingdom was the earliest period when Rome was ruled by kings, followed by the Roman Republic, which was a period of democracy. The Roman Empire was marked by the rule of emperors and the expansion of Roman power.
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.
What are the subdivisions of the Precambrian era?
The Precambrian Era can be divided into three major eras. These eras include the Hadean, the Archean, and the Proterozoic.
The largest division of geological time is called?
The Archean Eon, which is part of the Precambrian period along with the Proterozoic Eon.

How many eras has the earth had?
The Earth has had 4 eras. The Precambrian time, Paleozoic era, Mesozoic, and the era we are in now, the Cenozoic.
