Ancient Fossil Bacteria : Pictured above are two kinds cyanobacteria from the Bitter Springs Chert. On the left is a colonial chroococcalean form, probably Myxococcoides minor, and on the right is the filamentous Palaeolyngbya.

600-560 MYA600-560 MYA Formation of the Ozone Layer
Cyanobacteria now producing much of the world’s Oxygen (O2).
UV rays hit oxygen and cause formation of Ozone (O3).
Now that Ozone is blocking UV rays…Life can move
onto land

ClassificationClassification
All living and extinct organisms are organized into units called TAXONS
6 Kingdom Classification: Bacteria Archaea Protists Plants Fungi Animals (Invertebrates and Vertebrates)
