Cambrian  

Définition

  • The Cambrian Period is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, and of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Cambrian lasted 53.4 million years from the end of the preceding Ediacaran Period 538.8 million years ago (mya) to the beginning of the Ordovician Period 485.4 mya. Its subdivisions, and its base, are somewhat in flux. The period was established as "Cambrian series" and named after Cambria, the Latin name for 'Cymru' (Wales), where Britain's Cambrian rocks are best exposed.
