The Precambrian era is associated with the origin of life on primitive Earth. It was, in fact, in that era that ribonucleic acid (RNA) was first acquired. From this evolved the genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that later generated the biomolecules that formed the first cell. In this way, with the ongoing changes in environmental factors, the first cells evolved to give rise to higher multicellular organisms, i.e., plants and animals. Radiolarians and diatoms are organisms that have been conserved since the Precambrian era. However, although these organisms are alive (they can be considered as living fossils), they do not suffice to explain the origin of life. To understand the origin of life, the interactions among inorganic compounds that existed in the Precambrian era must be elucidated. In this context, calcium, barium, or strontium silico-carbonates (usually called silica-biomorphs) have been simply named biomorphs that …
