2.7 to 2.1 billion years ago. Additionally, a long period of glaciation occurred shortly before the Rrst fossils of multicellular organisms, from about 1 bil-lion to 540 million years ago. Some scientists now believe that during this glaciation, the entire Earth froze over, generating a ‘snowball earth’. Such con-

In a reference frame moving in a very rapid round trip away from and back to Earth, one can measure a very short time elapsed, while eons have passed by on Earth.

Stromatolites are rocks made from millions of microscopic layers comprised of the remains of bacteria. 2.5 billion years ago to 540 million years ago By the end of this period there were oceans, continents, and surface temperature similar to today.

The period of Earth's history that began 2.5 billion years ago and ended 544 million years ago is known as the Proterozoic. Many of the most exciting events in the history of the Earth and of life occurred during the Proterozoic -- stable continents first appeared and began to accrete, a long process taking about a billion years.

The fi rst day on the earth’s calendar—at least, the fi rst that scientists know about now—happened about 4.6 billion years ago in a time called the Precambrian era (4.6 billion years ago to 544 million years ago). Geologic evidence shows that a great sea covered all of present-day Montana and its surrounding region.

However, up to 1.8 billion years ago oxygen mass had been less than 1% of its modern value. By the Cambrian boundary, it was already several percent of its present value. Layers with strongly oxidized iron compounds aged at 1.8 to 2.0 billion years indicate a sufficient amount of free oxygen in the atmosphere. Figure 1 presents the oxygen mass
