1	The Emergence of Animals: The Cambrian Breakthrough more books like this by Mark A McMenamin, Professor Dianna L McMenamin add to wishlist The authors explore the late Precambrian and earliest Cambrian fossil record to explain the Cambrian phenomenon and discuss the possibility of a major turnover in marine ecology at the beginning of the Cambrian period or whether a new, improved type of animal appeared at this time. They support their often controversial conclusions with photos and ... see all copies from $13.12! new only from $37.80! \| first editions
2	Cradle of Life: The Discovery of the Earth's Earliest Fossils more books like this by J William Schopf add to wishlist One of the greatest mysteries in reconstructing the history of life on Earth has been the apparent absence of fossils dating back more than 500 million years. We have long known that fossils of sophisticated marine life-forms existed at the dawn of the Cambrian Period, but until recently scientists had found no traces of Precambrian fossils. The ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.69! \| first editions
