Archaea ( ; singular archaeon ) is a Domain (biology), domain of Unicellular organism, single-celled organisms. These microorganisms lack cell nuclei and are therefore prokaryotes. Archaea were initially Taxonomy (biology), classified as bacteria, receiving the name archaebacteria (in the Archaebacteria Kingdom (biology), kingdom), but this term has fallen out of use. Archaeal cells have unique properties separating them from the other three-domain system, two domains, Bacteria and Eukaryote, Eukaryota. Archaea are further divided into multiple recognized phylum, phyla. Classification is difficult because most have not been Isolation (microbiology), isolated in a laboratory and have been detected only by their Gene, gene sequences in environmental samples. Archaea and bacteria are generally similar in size and shape, although a few archaea have very different shapes, such as the flat, square cells of ''Haloquadratum walsbyi''. Despite this Morphology (biology), morphological ...

Paleoarchean
The Paleoarchean (), also spelled Palaeoarchaean (formerly known as early Archean), is a Geologic time scale#Terminology, geologic era within the Archean, Archaean Eon. The name derives from Greek "Palaios" ''ancient''. It spans the period of time . The era is defined Absolute dating, chronometrically and is not referenced to a specific level of a rock section on Earth. The Abiogenesis, earliest confirmed evidence of life comes from this era, and Vaalbara, one of Earth's earliest Supercontinent, supercontinents, may have formed during this era. Early life The geological record from the Paleoarchean era is very limited. Due to deformation and metamorphism, most rocks from the Paleoarchean era cannot provide any useful information. There are only two locations in the world containing rock formations that are intact enough to preserve evidence of early life: the Kaapvaal Craton in Southern Africa and the Pilbara Craton in Western Australia. The Pilbara Craton, Dresser Formation, l ...
