The Precambrian is remarkable for comprising

  • A.about seven eighths of geological time
  • B.about one eighth of geological time
  • C.the whole of the fossil record
  • D.the period since the last ice age

Answer: A

Correct answer: about seven eighths of geological time

The Precambrian runs from 4,600 to 541 million years ago - some 4,060 million years, or 88 per cent of the whole. That the familiar fossil-bearing record occupies only the last eighth is worth keeping in mind: most of the earth’s history is comparatively poorly known.
