AD 4

?
When was the ediacaran period of time?
635-542mya
1 of 10
Key features of bilaterians (3)
Symmetrical, Triploblasty, cephalisation
2 of 10
3 main types of bilaterian protostomes
lophotrochozoa, ecdysozoa, deuterostomes
3 of 10
How where organisms preserved in the burgess shale?
deep sea bed buried by fine sediment so no o2 leads to preservation of C films and decay stopped due to different minerals/compounds present
4 of 10
How does fossilisation in ediacaran and cambrian change?
low S and high alkilinity change so preservation in burgess shale, less fossilisation after cambrian, not much known pre cambrian
5 of 10
what are the possible causes of the cambrian explostion (3)
Environmental changes, ecological changes or gene variation
6 of 10
What organisms are part of the total group classification?
living representatives and all extinct relatives
7 of 10
What organisms are part of the crown group classification?
living representatives and closely related organisms
8 of 10
what organisms are part of the stem group classification?
only extinct organsims- they have closer relations to most common ancestor then living organisms
9 of 10
Name 8 different groups of organisms found in the burgess shale
Porifora, annelida, mollusc, arthropoda, deuterostome, cnidaria, priapulida, onychophora
