When life originated on Earth is still a hotly debated in science. The evidence available was from already fairly complex bacteria. These bacteria must have evolved from more simple life forms but little or no evidence exists to confirm this.

The first conclusive evidence for life comes from the Neoarchean Era(2,800 - 2,500Ma) about 2.74 billion years ago.

However there is evidence that there was bacteria alive in the Paleoarchean Era(3,600 - 3,200Ma) about 3.45 billion years ago.

During which time period was the surface bedrock at this location formed?

To determine the time period during which the surface bedrock at a specific location was formed, one would typically need to refer to geological maps or studies specific to that area. Bedrock formation can vary widely based on geological history, ranging from billions of years ago during the Precambrian era to more recent formations in the Cenozoic era. If you provide the exact location, I can help narrow down the timeframe based on known geological data.
