Constraining the timing of key evolutionary events during the Cambrian ‘explosion’
Principal Investigator: Smith, Martin R
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5298. The aim of this research project is to develop new quantitative tools to infer evolutionary processes from the geological record, with a particular focus on the origin of animal ecosystems in the ‘Cambrian explosion’, an event that marked the onset of diverse complex animal life. Through fieldwork in the June Lake ...


The microfossil record of the Cambrian explosion
Principal Investigator: Smith, Martin R
Licensed Year(s): 2016
Summary: The objectives of this research project are to measure continuous sedimentary sections spanning Proterozoic-Phanerozoic transition; to use geochemical approaches to precisely constrain the age and depositional conditions of the strata; and, to obtain Small Carbonaceous Fossils and Small Shelly Fossils from temporally-constrained strata in order to determine the rate of evolution through the Cambri...
