The Banded Iron Formations• Billions of tons of iron ore, the world’s
chief reserves.• Formed between 3.5 and 2.0 BY ago.• They record the gradual oxidation of the
oceans by photosynthetic cyanobacteria.• *When the oceans finished rusting,
oxygen accumulated in the atmosphere.

BIF: Banded Iron Formations• Fe+2 reduced iron• Fe+3 oxidized iron• O-2 oxygen• 2Fe + O2 2 FeO ferrous oxide (soluable)• 2FeO + 1/2O2 Fe2O3 ferric oxide (rust)• Between 3.5-2.0 BY ago, the ocean slowly
rusted as dissolved iron was removed.• The bands are alternating layers of rust and
silica (SiO2.H2O), formed during summer and
winter, respectively.

Evolution of Eukaryotes• Strict requirement for oxygen.• Oldest eukaryote about 2.0 BY old, a
multicellular algae.• Evolved by symbiosis:
– first protist evolved chromosomes–absorbed aerobic bacteria became
mitochondria–absorbed cyanobacteria became
chloroplasts

Plant-Animal Dichotomy
• All protists have mitochondria, but only some have chloroplasts.
• Those with chloroplasts gave rise to algae and eventually plants.
• Those without chloroplasts gave rise to heterotrophs, including animals.
• Split happened before 2.1 BY ago.

Delayed Rise of Animals
• Multicellular algae arose 2.1 BY ago.• Animals can be thought of as
multicellular heterotrophic protists. They first appear 0.6 BY ago.
• Why the delay of over 1.5 BY? That’s a long time for heterotrophs to remain single-celled.

Cause of the Delay?
• The time required for the complex nerve cell to evolve. It coordinates muscular movement.
• All animals more complex than sponges have nerve cells. Sponges don’t move, nor do plants or fungi.

The First Animals
• The first animal fossils appear around 600 MY ago. They consist of trace fossils and impressions of soft bodied animals.
• The impressions are called the Ediacaran fossils.

unknown biological affinities.

Ediacaran Fossils
• Very thin for direct absorption of oxygen. No evidence of gills.
• No hard parts because there were no predators. These animals ate algae.
• Predators appeared by the end of the Proterozoic as shown by hard part fossils at the base of the Cambrian.
