The Neoarchean (/ ˌ n iː oʊ. ɑːr ˈ k iː ə n / NEE-oh-ar-KEE-ən; also spelled Neoarchaean) is the last geologic era in the Archean Eon that spans from 2800 to 2500 million years ago—the period being defined chronometrically and not referencing a specific level in a rock section on Earth.

Due to the sparse exposure of pre-Neoarchean rocks, only the tectonic settings of the rocks generated from 2.7 to 1.85 billion years ago (during the Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic Era) are thought to be understood. [1] These settings include a Large Igneous Province event, mantle plume activity, continental collisions, rifting and subductions ...
An era is the second largest geochronologic time unit and is equivalent to a chronostratigraphic erathem. [ 14 ] [ 13 ] There are ten defined eras: the Eoarchean , Paleoarchean , Mesoarchean , Neoarchean , Paleoproterozoic , Mesoproterozoic , Neoproterozoic , Paleozoic , Mesozoic and Cenozoic , with none from the Hadean eon.
Kenorland is a hypothetical Neoarchean supercontinent.If it existed, it would have been one of the earliest known supercontinents on Earth.It is thought to have formed during the Neoarchaean Era c. 2.72 billion years ago (2.72 Ga) by the accretion of Neoarchaean cratons and the formation of new continental crust.
The Archean Eon (IPA: / ɑːr ˈ k iː ə n / ar-KEE-ən, also spelled Archaean or Archæan), in older sources sometimes called the Archaeozoic, is the second of the four geologic eons of Earth's history, preceded by the Hadean Eon and followed by the Proterozoic.
c. 4,300 Ma – Nectarian Era begins on Earth. c. 4,250 Ma – Earliest evidence for life, based on unusually high amounts of light isotopes of carbon, a common sign of life, found in Earth's oldest mineral deposits located in the Jack Hills of Western Australia. [4] c. 4,100 Ma – Early Imbrian Era begins on Earth.
