The end of the Precambrian Eon is marked by the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon, approximately 541 million years ago. This transition is characterized by a significant increase in the diversity of multicellular life forms and the appearance of abundant fossils in the geological record.
The Precambrian Eon consists of three main eras: the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic eras.
The Precambrian Era ended around 541 million years ago with the Cambrian Explosion, a period of rapid diversification of life forms. This marked the transition to the Phanerozoic Eon, characterized by the emergence of complex multicellular organisms.
The Precambrian eon began around 4.6 billion years ago and lasted until about 541 million years ago.
The Precambrian ended about 541 million years ago.
The oldest eon of geologic time is the Archaean Eon of the Precambrian period. The oldest rocks and fossils date from this time, about 3.8 to 2.5 billion years ago. (Prior to that, the Hadean Eon began with the formation of the Earth. No geologic record exists from the Hadean, during which the Earth cooled from its molten state.)

Yes, the crust was solid during the Precambrian Eon. The Earth's crust began to form around 4.6 billion years ago, and by the start of the Precambrian Eon around 4.5 billion years ago, the crust had solidified.
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.
The Precambrian Eon consists of three main eras: the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic eras.
During the Precambrian eon, which spans from the formation of Earth about 4.6 billion years ago to around 540 million years ago, life was primarily simple and unicellular. The earliest organisms were prokaryotic, such as bacteria and archaea, and later, simple eukaryotic cells emerged. Multicellular life began to develop towards the end of this eon, with the appearance of algae and soft-bodied organisms. Overall, the Precambrian eon was marked by significant evolutionary developments, setting the stage for more complex life forms in the subsequent Paleozoic era.
The Precambrian Era ended around 541 million years ago with the Cambrian Explosion, a period of rapid diversification of life forms. This marked the transition to the Phanerozoic Eon, characterized by the emergence of complex multicellular organisms.
The Archean Eon, which is part of the Precambrian period along with the Proterozoic Eon.
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.
The Precambrian eon began around 4.6 billion years ago and lasted until about 541 million years ago.
The Precambrian Super-Eon lasted from 4,576.2 until 542 million years ago approximately 4.0422 billion years.
Precambrian time spans from the formation of the Earth, about 4.6 billion years ago, to the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon, about 541 million years ago. It is the longest eon in Earth's history.
