The Cambrian Period

Peng, Shanchi ; Babcock, Loren E. and Ahlberg, Per LU (2020) 2. p.565-565
Abstract
Appearance of metazoans with mineralized skeletons, “explosion” in biotic diversity and disparity, infaunalization of the substrate, occurrence of metazoan Konservat Fossil-lagerstätten, establishment of most invertebrate phyla, strong faunal provincialism, dominance of trilobites, generally warm climate but with possible
glacial-interglacial cycles in the later part, opening of the Iapetus Ocean, progressive equatorial drift and separation of Laurentia, Baltica, Siberia, and Avalonia from Gondwana characterize the Cambrian Period.
