Over most of Precambrian time 80 percent of earths history-the only life forms are bacteria ,which appear about 3,500 million years ago. multiple-cells marine animals like spriggina appear at the end of the era
It was the Precambrian time period.
Jellyfish were not even alive during the Precambrian era because only single-celled organisms lived.
Precambrian is a geologic period that extends as back as 4.500 million years ago. Fossils are very rare from that period of time.
The Precambrian period was from 4600 million years ago to about 542 million years ago.
The Precambrian time period is segmented into very few parts because it covers an immense span of time, approximately 4 billion years. The lack of detailed fossil records and the complexity of geological processes during this time make it difficult to create more subdivisions. Additionally, the period saw major events such as the formation of Earth's crust and the evolution of life, which are hard to categorize into smaller segments.

The Precambrian Time
The Precambrian time is segmented into very few parts because it spans an extensive period of Earth's history, roughly 4 billion years, and lacks well-defined boundaries due to limited fossil evidence. The three main subdivisions in the Precambrian are the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic eons, based on the geologic processes and events that occurred during each interval.
The Ediacaran fauna existed during the Ediacaran period, approximately 635 to 541 million years ago. This period was just before the Cambrian explosion, which marked the rapid diversification of multicellular life forms.
The Precambrian Era began in the time period 4600 and ended in 570.
The term "Precambrian" refers to the eon of geological time that predates the Cambrian period, which marks the beginning of abundant fossils in the rock record. It encompasses a vast span of time, roughly from the formation of Earth (about 4.6 billion years ago) to 541 million years ago.
During the Precambrian time, the Earth's surface was generally hotter compared to present day, due to higher levels of volcanic activity and lower levels of atmospheric oxygen. This period experienced intense tectonic activity, leading to the formation of supercontinents and widespread geologic changes.
