Changed start point of green "Animals" line to better reflect current literature c. 655 Ma. Changed wording of first oxygenation event to better reflect current science, whereby it is the start of atmospheric oxygen increase (only ~10% PAL O<sub>2</sub>, although may be higher initially and then decrease, remai...

Adjusted start point of "animals" green line to be more accurate with current literate (c. 655 Ma). Also changed the wording of oxygenation event c. 2300 to be more accurate (atmospheric oxygen only starts to rise at this point, not necessarily oxygen rich, ~10% PAL - the remaining 90% rise is thought to have occurred during Neoproterozoic to Palaeozoic...
