Abstract The Cambrian Period is the first period of the Phanerozoic Eon and witnessed the
explosive appearance of the metazoans, representing the beginning of the modern earth-life …

Use of the first appearance datum (FAD) of a fossil to define a global chronostratigraphic
unit's base can lead to intractable correlation and stability problems. FADs are diachronous …

Appearance of metazoans with mineralized skeletons,“explosion” in biotic diversity and
disparity, infaunalization of the substrate, occurrence of metazoan Konservat Fossil …

Small shelly fossils (SSFs) occur widely on the Yangtze Platform and have great potential for
biostratigraphic subdivision of pre-trilobitic Early Cambrian strata. Based on the SSF record …

The International Subcommission on Cambrian Stratigraphy has introduced a number of
internal subdivisions (ie, series and stages), but most of the explanatory publications lack …

Papers resulting from the Fourth International Symposium on the Cambrian System, held in
Nanjing, China, in 2005 cover three major aspects of geology and paleontology:(1) the …

Abstract The Sinian (Terminal Proterozoic) and Early Cambrian shallow-to deep-water
sequences of the Yangtze Platform were investigated. Based on integrated lithostratigraphic …

Groundwater Age is the first book of its kind that incorporates and synthesizes the state-of-
the-art knowledge about the business of groundwater dating-including historical …

Trilobites are often considered exemplary for understanding the Cambrian explosion of
animal life, due to their unsurpassed diversity and abundance. These biomineralized …

Lower Cambrian successions described from Scandinavia are reviewed and subjected to
sequence stratigraphical analysis; comparisons are also made with successions described …
