"The Hadean time period is often referred to as the 'Hadean Eon.'"
A geologic eon is a very large period of time, typically encompassing billions of years. Examples include the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic eons in the Earth's history.
In geologic time, the Hadean is the first EONof Earth's history, from it's formation 4.57 billion years ago to about 4 billion years ago. The Hadean is not an era, which is a smaller subdivision of geologic time.
The Hadean Eon is characterized by intense heat, frequent meteorite impacts, and volcanic activity. During this time, Earth was still forming and the surface was mostly molten rock with no life forms. The Hadean Eon ended around 4 billion years ago when the Earth's surface began to cool and solidify.

The Age of Crinoids
The Hadean, Archean, and the protozoic eons.
There is no rock record of the Hadean period due to the intense geological activity during that time, which would have destroyed or altered any rocks that might have formed. The Earth's surface was constantly being melted and reshaped by volcanic activity and impacts from space, making it difficult for rocks to have survived from that period.
Precambrian time is another name for the group of eons that includes the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic eons.
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.
No nickname because people didn't give nicknames in this time period. They are a modern invention.
Jurassic Period. That's pretty much it. Its the middle of the Age of Dinosaurs.
The Hadean Eon is named after Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. This name reflects the extreme heat and inhospitable conditions that characterized the early Earth during this period, around 4.6 to 4 billion years ago. It signifies a time of intense geological activity and the formation of Earth's primordial crust.
