The Ediacaran (/ ˌ iː d i ˈ æ k ər ə n, ˌ ɛ d i-/ EE-dee-AK-ər-ən, ED-ee-) [3] is a geological period of the Neoproterozoic Era that spans 96 million years from the end of the Cryogenian Period at 635 Mya to the beginning of the Cambrian Period at 538.8 Mya. [4]

The Ediacaran (/ ˌ iː d i ˈ æ k ər ə n /; formerly Vendian) biota is a taxonomic period classification that consists of all life forms that were present on Earth during the Ediacaran Period (c. 635–538.8 Mya). These were enigmatic tubular and frond-shaped, mostly sessile, organisms.

Ediacaran Period, the uppermost division of the Proterozoic Eon of Precambrian time, extending from approximately 635 million years ago to 541 million years ago. The Ediacaran Period produced some of the earliest known evidence of the evolution of …

The Ediacaran is the youngest period of three that make up the Neoproterozoic Era, which in turn is the youngest of three eras within the Proterozoic Eon. The Ediacaran is sandwiched between the older Cryogenian Period and the younger Cambrian Period.

May 10, 2018 · The Ediacara Biota refers to the earliest communities of complex, macroscopic, multicellular organisms known on Earth. These communities appeared late in the Ediacaran Period, just before the Cambrian Explosion, a time when most of the major animal phyla on the planet appear in the fossil record.

Dec 12, 2012 · Ediacaran fossils —542 to 635 million years old — occur worldwide in a variety of sedimentary deposits, generally interpreted as shallow to deep marine origin.

The Ediacaran period (about 635–541 million years BC), is named after the Ediacara Hills of South Australia. It is the last geological period of the Proterozoic eon. The Edicaran is followed by the Cambrian, the first period of the Palaeozoic. The period is famous for the first larger-bodied fossils, which are probably the first recorded animals

Ediacara fauna, unique assemblage of soft-bodied organisms preserved worldwide as fossil impressions in sandstone from the Ediacaran Period (approximately 635 million to 541 million years ago). Some scientists have suggested that the Ediacara fauna were the first metazoans.

Feb 11, 2022 · The Ediacaran Period (635–541 Ma) marks a pivotal time in the evolution of life, when complex macroscopic eukaryotes irreversibly attained ecological dominance (Xiao and Narbonne, 2020).

Jun 9, 2018 · The Ediacaran Period spans 94 million years from the end of the Cryogenian Period 635 million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Cambrian Period 541 Mya. It marks the end of the Proterozoic Eon, and the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon. It is named after the Ediacara Hills of South Australia.
