You are a silly man. An archaeologist is not a paleontologist. (I do hope you understand the difference) However for sake of brevity here is a link with pictures of some precambrian fossils.

http://www.3d-fossils.com/earth_sciences/paleontology/fossils/precambrian.html

The precambrian is a four billion year time period so I'm not really sure when in the precambrian you want to see fossils from. If you mean fossils of the earliest forms of life you really are an uninformed young man. The first lifeforms are almost ephemeral being mainly one celled organism for millions perhaps billions of years.

Also the surface of the Earth is not what it was four billion years ago. Much of the surface has been reconverted into magma by vocanic activity, destroyed by meteoric impacts, or lost in areas of the ocean we cannot currently reach.
Searching for microscopic fossils in the precambrian rock, that are left to explore, is like look for a needle in a haystack and we have only been at this activity for less than 20-30 years. With the advent of modern microscopes we have been able to discover microfossils as old as 3.5 billion years old. This is a rather new field of study, do you creationists expect us to show you a fossil of the first lifeform? It isn't going to happen but then again I can show you more physical evidence that this organism existed than you can for your god. Can you show me your fossils of Adam and Eve that your God created? If you can't do even that where is your evidence? Hmm oh yes I'm expected to have evidence,which of course I have shown you,but your not expected to have any evidence of your claims. Show me your evidence where is it?

In fact you seem to believe there was a precambrian era isn't that a little older than the Earth you believe in?
