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 …

Sea level controls on Ediacaran-Cambrian animal radiations
The drivers of Ediacaran-Cambrian metazoan radiations remain unclear, as does the fidelity
of the record. We use a global age framework [580–510 million years (Ma) ago] to estimate …
