Neoarhaik

Neoarhaik je geološka era unutar Arhaika. Vremenski se proteže od 2800 milijuna godina do 2500 milijuna godina. Ovo se vremensko razdoblje definira kronometrijski i nema odgovarajući sloj stijenja u Zemlji.

U ovom se razdoblju pojavljuju prvi organizmi (cijanobakterije) sposobni za fotosintezu^[1]. Njihovo razmnožavanje i sve veća proizvodnja kisika izazvati će tzv. kisikovu katastrofu koja će doći do vrhunca u sljedećoj paleoproterozojskoj eri. Povećanje razina kisika u atmosferi uništilo je gotovo sve anaerobni anaerobne organizme onog doba^[2]. U neoarhaiku je došlo do formiranja novog superkontineta Kenorlanda, prije oko 2700 milijuna godina ^[3]^[4].
