Were there herbivores during the Cambrian time period?
It is thought that most of the animals in the Cambrian Period were herbivores feeding on the Green Algae which we believe was abundant during the Period.
Was life not very diverse during the Cambrian period?
True.
What is the sudden appearance of life in the fossil record called?
The sudden appearance of complex life forms in the fossil record is called the Cambrian Explosion. It refers to a relatively short period in Earth's history, around 540 million years ago, when there was a rapid diversification and emergence of diverse animal species. The Cambrian Explosion marks a significant milestone in the evolution of complex life on our planet.
During which period was Laurentia completely surrounded by passive margins?
The Cambrian
Which type of organism appeared for the first time during the Cambrian period?
Trilobites
What is the cambrain explosion?
life during the early Cambrian period
What era did the Ediacaran Fauna Live?
The Ediacarian fauna are from the Cambrian Explosion. The Cambrian Explosion occurred in the Cambrian period. The Cambrian period was part of the Paleozoic era.
Explosion of life what period?
Cambrian.
What does the term Cambrian Explosion mean?
The sudden appearance of most of the major animal phyla within the fossils early in the Cambrian period. This caused a sudden diversification of life.
During what period did the first vertebrates appear?
The first vertebrates evolved during the Cambrian Explosion about 525 million years ago. The Cambrian Explosion, obviously, occurred during the Cambrian period. The Cambrian period was part of the Paleozoic era.
What is Cambrian's Big bang?
I assume you are referring to the Cambrian Explosion... It was a period on Earth many millions of years ago after heavy bombardment from asteroids. A huge "explosion" of species and life came to form on Earth.

At the start of the Camrbian period, roughly 542 million years ago.
How long ago did the Cambrian explosion?
At the start of the Camrbian period, roughly 542 million years ago.
Why is it important to scientists that many organisms during the Cambrian period had hard parts?
Referred to the Cambrian explosion is the Cambrian period. Shells and exoskeletons had hard parts. The Cambrian period was the first of the Paleozoic Era.The hard parts made the preservation of their shapes, and sometimes their body cavities, much more easy to recognize as a fossil. The earlier soft bodied organisms required very fine silts for their effective preservation. A representative group they found are the Ediacaran fauna.
Animals in the preCambrian period?
The group of animalia (animals) did not fully form until the Cambrian period. There is evidence of simple life (single-celled) and small multi-celled life forms from before the Cambrian explosion.
