When was the formation of oxygen atmosphere?

when Earth was hit my carbonic acids, rocks eroded, and granite, carried by rivers, was released into oceans, at some point CO2 was released into the oceans, and stromatolites formed in shallow seas and absorbed the CO2, eventually it spit out oxygen and after oxygen become to much in the sea it moved into an area of lower concentration outside of the ocean and into the atmosphere
