Asynchronous trilobite extinctions at the early to middle Cambrian transition
Trilobites appeared and diversified rapidly in the Cambrian, but it is debated as to whether
their radiations and extinctions were globally synchronous or geographically restricted and …

(Re) proposal of three Cambrian subsystems and their geochronology
The Cambrian is anomalous among geological systems as many reports divide it into three
divisions of indeterminate rank. This use of “lower”,“middle”, and “upper” has been a …
