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.

Classically, the boundary between the Proterozoic and the Phanerozoic eons was set at the base of the Cambrian Period when the first fossils of animals, including trilobites and archeocyathids, as well as the animal-like Caveasphaera, appeared.

1 sty 2015 · The Proterozoic Eon begins at 2.5 Ga, which approximately marks the time when oxygen from cyanobacteria began to dramatically change the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans and when complex one-celled life (eukaryotes) evolved from simple cells (prokaryotes).
