Ediacaran (Ediacara Hills) (1 gen 635000000 anni a. C. – 1 gen 538800000 anni a. C.)

Descrizione:

The Ediacaran period witnessed the emergence of multicellular life forms, preceding the Cambrian explosion. It was a time of biological experimentation, with the appearance of enigmatic soft-bodied organisms in marine environments that left behind fossilized imprints in sedimentary rocks.

Named for the Ediacara Hills. Ediacara is possibly a corruption of the Kuyani words 'Yata Takarra' meaning hard or stony ground.
