Period Or

Orosirian

2050.0000 – 1800.0000 Ma

The Orosirian is the third geologic period in the Paleoproterozoic Era. It spans 250 million years and lasted from 2050 to 1800 million years ago (Ma), following the Rhyacian Period and preceding the Statherian Period. Instead of being based on stratigraphy, these dates are defined chronometrically.
