Precambrian• 4.65 billion years ago – 540 million
years ago. Makes up 90% of geologic time.

Precambrian• Earth cooled for about 500 million
years and a thin crust, atmosphere, and oceans began to form.
![Page 14: Mr Shorter Geologic Time](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5884a1531a28ab26058b766b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Precambrian• A thick atmosphere rich in water
vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide began to develop.

Precambrian• Earth’s oceans had no oxygen and
were green in color due to high amounts of iron. About 4 billion years ago, stromatolites formed.
![Page 16: Mr Shorter Geologic Time](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5884a1531a28ab26058b766b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Precambrian• Stromatolites are cyanobacteria that
form rock like structures with biofilms. They have a by-product of oxygen!
![Page 17: Mr Shorter Geologic Time](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5884a1531a28ab26058b766b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Precambrian• Oxygen from stromatolites saturated
the ocean and turned the ocean blue!
• This happened between 3.5-2 billion years ago.
• It created Banded Iron Formations.

Cenozoic• The Neogene is a time of great
mammal diversity.
• During the Miocene, mammal diversity peaks, and most modern animals are on Earth.
• This diversity is due to the separated continents and multiple biomes that occur naturally on Earth for the first time.
