The Cambrian Explosion

2016
Based on trace-fossil evidence, the Cambrian explosion emerges as one of the most dramatic events in the history of the biosphere. Ichnologic data are highly valuable as an independent line of evidence with respect to the body-fossil record and molecular clocks to explore the nature of this event and the associated evolutionary innovations.

The Cambrian of Malaysia

Palaeoworld, 2006
Abstract The Cambrian of Malaysia is best represented by the quartzose Machinchang Formation in Langkawi, Kedah, northwest Peninsular Malaysia. It is divisible into three members. The oldest Hulor Member (>1260 m thick) is a coarsening upward succession of rhythmically interlayered graded siltstone, mudstone and clayey sandstone deposited as a ...

The Cambrian System [PDF]

open access: possible, 1978
Forty selected radiometric ages are plotted to illustrate a time scale for the Cambrian System and strata immediately above and below. Uncertainty is unavoidable at present, not only because the boundaries of the system are the subject of international working group investigations which are not complete, but also because the radiometric age ...

The base of the Cambrian

Journal of the Geological Society of Australia, 1963
Abstract The Cambrian System by definition must include the rocks (in the Caledonian geosyncline of Wales) to which this name was first applied. Its type sequence, however, does not define its boundaries. Evidence on the base of the Cambrian can be found in the Caledonian sedimentary areas of Scandinavia and in the adjoining Baltic region where the ...

A Cambrian Moment

Research-Technology Management, 2013
"The future is already here--it's just not very evenly distributed. " William Gibson As this issue of RTM arrives in your mailbox, IRI--our publisher--enters its 75th year. It does so at what John Seely Brown would call a Cambrian moment for innovation, an era of explosive change with the potential to forge profound changes in the way we work, learn ...

Pre-Cambrian and Cambrian relations in the upper Mississippi Valley

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1935
INTRODUCTION This paper presents the results of an investigation of two of the stratigraphic problems of the upper Mississippi Valley, pointed out by Trowbridge and Atwater1 in 1934. At that time a review of the stratigraphy of the upper Mississippi Valley was given, a number of problems that the authors believed to be as yet unsolved were outlined ...

The Cambrian period

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1964
Summary Fifteen selected radiometric ages are used to construct a time-scale for the Cambrian System. Maximum thicknesses are not considered to be useful in constructing a Cambrian time-scale. Ages of 495 m.y. and 570 m.y. are suggested for the top and base of the system, with ages of 540 m.y. and 515 m.y.

The Basal Cambrian Transition and Cambrian Bio-Events (From Terminal Proterozoic Extinctions to Cambrian Biomeres)

1996
Within the Cambrian about six globally traceable extinction events are recognised, of which those across the Mid Botomian through to Toyonian/Amgan are of highest order. All events are associated with facies changes, mostly combined with stepwise extinctions that preferentially affected nearshore and endemic taxa.

Pre-Cambrian atmosphere:evidence from the Pre-Cambrian of Sweden

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1956
Sedimentary haematite ores of central Sweden give evidence of the existence of an oxidizing atmosphere about 2000 × 106 years ago. This is not consistent with Rankama's conclusions from the unoxidized condition of a diorite conglomerate in Finland. Therefore a (later) Pre-Cambrian conglomerate in northern Sweden has been examined for comparison.
