432millionyear

432 million years is a period of time that spans from 432,000,000 years ago to the present. It corresponds to a significant portion of the Earth's geologic history, including the Paleoproterozoic, Mesoproterozoic, and Neoproterozoic eras. This period is also notable for its marked transition from the formation of the Earth's crust to the emergence of more complex life forms.

During this time, the supercontinent of Rodinia began to form, approximately 880 million years ago. The subsequent

430 million years ago, a significant event occurred, known as the "Great Oxygenation Event". This marked a
