The first eon in Earth's history, the Hadean, begins with the Earth's formation and is followed by the Archean eon at 3.8 Ga. [2]: 145 The oldest rocks found on Earth date to about 4.0 Ga, and the oldest detrital zircon crystals in rocks to about 4.4 Ga, [34] [35] [36] soon after the formation of the Earth's crust and the Earth itself.
The Precambrian includes approximately 90% of geologic time. It extends from 4.6 billion years ago to the beginning of the Cambrian Period (about 539 Ma).It includes the first three of the four eons of Earth's prehistory (the Hadean, Archean and Proterozoic) and precedes the Phanerozoic eon.
Even though the Sun won't destroy Earth until December 31, all animals will die out by the end of May. Use of the geologic calendar as a conceptual aid dates back at least to the mid 20th century, for example in Richard Carrington's 1956 book A Guide to Earth History [3] and Gove Hambidge's 1941 chapter in the book Climate and Man.

The estimated time until a micro black hole of 1 Earth mass today, decays into subatomic particles by the emission of Hawking radiation. [145] 10 65 (100 vigintillion) Assuming that protons do not decay, estimated time for rigid objects, from free-floating rocks in space to planets, to rearrange their atoms and molecules via quantum tunnelling ...
