Proterozoic
The Proterozoic is a geological eon representing the time just before the proliferation of complex life on Earth. It extended from 2,500 Ma to 542.0-1.0 Ma (million years ago), and is the most recent part of the informally named "Precambrian" time. (wiki)

Do you know of another WHS we could connect to Proterozoic?
A connection should:
- Not be "self evident"
- Link at least 3 different sites
- Not duplicate or merely subdivide the "Category" assignment already identified on this site.
- Add some knowledge or insight (whether significant or trivial!) about WHS for the users of this site
- Be explained, with reference to a source
