Cambrian (Paleozoic, Phanerozoic, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The earliest period of the Paelozoic, extending from about 542 to 488 million years ago. It is characterized by rapid diversification of marine life. Cambrian rocks are the first to contain an abundance of fossils. |

Dutch ..... De eerste periode van het paleozoïcum, dat duurde van ongeveer 542 miljoen tot 488 miljoen jaar geleden. Deze tijd werd gekenmerkt door een snelle groei in de diversiteit van mariene levensvormen. Stenen uit het cambrium zijn de eerste die een grote hoeveelheid fossielen bevatten. |
