The Cambrian Explosion • The Cambrian explosion refers to the sudden appearance of fossils resembling modern animal phyla in the Cambrian period (535 to 525 million years ago) • A few animal phyla appear even earlier: sponges, cnidarians, and molluscs • The Cambrian explosion provides the first evidence of predator-prey interactions AP Biology © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Cambrian Explosion<br />
• The Cambrian explosion refers to the sudden<br />
appearance of fossils resembling modern<br />
animal phyla in the Cambrian period (535 to<br />
5<strong>25</strong> million years ago)<br />
• A few animal phyla appear even earlier:<br />
sponges, cnidarians, and molluscs<br />
• The Cambrian explosion provides the first<br />
evidence of predator-prey interactions<br />
