William Smith in 1800 - He formulated Fossil Succession. Fossils of one organism succeed one another in a specific and well established order. Geological Time Scale Eon - is the longest subdivision of Geological Time Scale, succeeded by Era, Period, and Epoch. Precambrian Eon - is the super Eon composed of the first three eons. Hadean Eon (4.6 Billion Years Ago) - the solidification of the earth’s continental and oceanic crust. Archean Eon (4 Billion Years Ago) - the evolution of earth’s first life forms. Proterozoic Eon (2.5 Billion Years Ago) - the appearance of multi-celled animals and the gathering of land masses to form continents. Archean Eon - the first life on earth appeared. They are PROKARYOTIC ORGANISMS which means they don’t have a true nucleus. Archaea Bacteria - first life forms Types of Archaea Bacteria includes: 1. Thermophiles - can survive in extremely hot environment. 2. Acidophiles - can survive in an extremely acidic environment. 3. Methanogens - uses Methane to metabolize. 4.
