Precambrian
Precambrian A name that is now used only informally to describe the longest period of geological time, which began with the consolidation of the Earth's crust and ended with the beginning of the Cambrian Period 542 Ma ago. The Precambrian lasted approximately 4000 Ma; the rocks of this period of geological time are usually altered and few fossils with hard parts or skeletons have been found within them. Precambrian rocks outcrop extensively in shield areas such as northern Canada and the Baltic Sea. In modern usage the Precambrian is subdivided into the Hadian,
Archaean, and
Proterozoic.
