New high‐resolution age data from the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary indicate rapid, ecologically driven onset of the Cambrian explosion
The replacement of the late Precambrian Ediacaran biota by morphologically disparate
animals at the beginning of the Phanerozoic was a key event in the history of life on Earth …
