Proterozoic Eon, the younger of the two divisions of Precambrian time, extending from 2.5 billion to 541 million years ago. During the Proterozoic, the atmosphere and oceans changed significantly. Its rocks contain the fossil remains of bacteria and blue-green algae as well as the first oxygen-dependent animals.

1 lut 2004 · The names of the Precambrian Eons are derived from the orig- inal terms Archeozoic and Protero zoic, which refer , respec- tively , to “early” and “primitive” (animal) life.
Early in the Proterozoic Eon, cyanobacteria radiated in oxygenated surface oceans, but recurring anoxia within the photic zone supported regionally extensive primary production by an-oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria.
