24 sie 2024 · The Proterozoic Eon, meaning “earlier life,” comes after the Archean Eon and ranges from 2.5 billion to 541 million years old. During this time, most of the central parts of the continents had formed, and plate tectonic processes had started.
Rocks formed during the Proterozoic Eon have fossil evidence of simple organisms, such as bacteria, algae, and wormlike animals.
