The Precambrian Era ended with the beginning of the Cambrian Period, approximately 541 million years ago. This period is characterized by the sudden appearance of a diverse range of complex life forms in the fossil record, known as the "Cambrian explosion".

The end of the Mesozoic Era is marked by the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs, known as the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. This event was likely caused by a combination of factors, including a meteorite impact and volcanic activity, and led to significant changes in Earth's ecosystems.
The end of the Paleozoic era was marked by the Permian extinction event, also known as the Great Dying, which occurred around 252 million years ago. It was the most severe extinction event in Earth's history, leading to the extinction of about 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species.
A significant event that marks the end of one era and the start of a new one is referred to as a paradigm shift. This shift often involves a fundamental change in beliefs, practices, or systems that redefine the way society or an industry operates. Examples include the Industrial Revolution or the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The end of an era, or the beginning of an era, is any time marked by a distinctive character. The Roman era. The use of steam power marked the beginning of an era. The Middle Ages is also referred to as the Medieval era. The Neolithic era, 3000 to 1800 bc
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.
