Calibrating the temporal and spatial dynamics of the Ediacaran-Cambrian radiation of animals
Abstract The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition, which incorporates the radiation of animals,
lacks a robust global temporal and spatial framework, resulting in major uncertainty in the …

A highly redox-heterogeneous ocean in South China during the early Cambrian (∼ 529–514 Ma): Implications for biota-environment co-evolution
Abstract The “Cambrian Explosion” is known for rapid increases in the morphological
disparity and taxonomic diversity of metazoans. It has been widely proposed that this …

The earliest Cambrian record of animals and ocean geochemical change
The Cambrian diversification of animals was long thought to have begun with an explosive
phase at the start of the Tommotian Age. Recent stratigraphic discoveries, however, suggest …
