15 paź 2024 · Archean Eon, interval lasting from about 4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years ago, the first formal division of Precambrian time. Fossil evidence of the earliest primitive life-forms appears in rocks about 3.5–3.7 billion years old; other evidence suggests that life may have emerged before 3.95 billion years ago.

The Archean Eon (IPA: / ɑːr ˈ k iː ə n / ar-KEE-ən, also spelled Archaean or Archæan), in older sources sometimes called the Archaeozoic, is the second of the four geologic eons of Earth's history, preceded by the Hadean Eon and followed by the Proterozoic.
9 wrz 2019 · The primarily defined divisions of time are eons, the Hadean, the Archean, the Proterozoic and the Phanerozoic. The first three of these can be referred to collectively as the Precambrian supereon. Each eon is subsequently divided into eras, which in turn are divided into periods, which are further divided into epochs.
11 kwi 2024 · The Archean Eon, which lasted from 4.0–2.5 billion years ago, is named after the Greek word for beginning. This eon represents the beginning of the rock record. Although there is current evidence that rocks and minerals existed during the Hadean Eon , the Archean has a much more robust rock and fossil record.
The earliest and most-primitive forms of life (bacteria and cyanobacteria) originated more than 3.5 billion years ago in the middle of the Archean Eon (the Archean’s alternative name, Archeozoic, means “ancient life”).
AEON (IN THE BIBLE) An indefinitely long period of time. The Biblical use of the term can be seen best by examining how it is employed in the OT, in intertestamental Judaism, and in the NT. Source for information on Aeon (in the Bible): New Catholic Encyclopedia dictionary.
The Archean eon, which preceded the Proterozoic eon, spanned about 1.5 billion years and is subdivided into four eras: the Neoarchean (2.8 to 2.5 billion years ago), Mesoarchean (3.2 to 2.8 billion years ago), Paleoarchean (3.6 to 3.2 billion years ago), and Eoarchean (4 to 3.6 billion years ago).*.
