Mesoproterozoic Era

The Mesoproterozoic Era, lasting from about 1.6 to 1.0 billion years ago, was a time when Earth's continents continued to grow and stabilize. During this period, single-celled organisms like algae thrived in oceans, and some of the first complex cells with nuclei appeared. It also saw the buildup of oxygen in the atmosphere, contributing to environmental changes. Significant geological events included the formation of ancient cratons and supercontinents. Overall, the Mesoproterozoic was a key era in Earth's history for the development of new life forms and the shaping of the planet's crust.
