The Statherian (IPA: /stəˈθɪəriən/, Greek: statheros, meaning "stable, firm") is the final geologic period in the Paleoproterozoic Era and lasted from 1800 Ma to 1600 Ma (million years ago). Greek (el ελληνική γλώσσα or simply el ελληνικά — "Hellenic" is an Indo-European language, spoken today by 15-22 million people mainly Geology (from Greek γη gê, "earth" and λόγος Logos, "speech" lit The Paleoproterozoic (ˌpeɪlɪoʊˌproʊtərəˈzoʊɪk also spelled Palaeoproterozoic) is the first of the three sub-divisions ( eras) of the Annum is one form of the Latin noun meaning Year, not a form normally used for derivatives in modern languages the accusative singular Instead of being based on stratigraphy, these dates are defined chronometrically. Stratigraphy, a branch of Geology, studies rock layers and layering ( stratification)

During this period the first complex single-celled life appeared. Animals Plants fungi, and Protists are eukaryotes (juːˈkærɪɒt or -oʊt Organisms whose cells are organized into complex

The period is characterized on most continents by either new platforms or final cratonization of fold belts. A continent is one of several large Landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by Convention rather than any strict criteria with seven regions The continental shelf is the extended perimeter of each Continent and associated Coastal plain, which is covered during interglacial periods such A craton ( Greek kratos / κρἀτος ( neut. "strength" is an old and stable part of the Continental crust that has survived

The supercontinent Columbia formed at the beginning of this period. In Geology, a supercontinent is a Landmass comprising more than one Continental core or Craton. Columbia is the name of one of the Earth's oldest Supercontinents It was first proposed by J
