It shows that the Precambrian era began 4,600 million years ago and the earliest rocks formed around 4 billion years ago. The Phanerozoic eon began over 545 million years ago and is divided into the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras marked by evolution of life on land and sea and periods of extinction including when the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago.
