Systeem Aarde aan de wieg van complex leven: de kwantificatie van het klimaat en verwering tijdens de initiële radiatie van Cambrische dieren Ghent University
Early animals evolved during the Neoproterozoic/Phanerozoic
transition, approximately 600 to 500 Ma ago. Despite the
fundamental importance of this interval in the evolution of animal-rich
marine ecosystems, the physical environments of the Cambrian
radiation are poorly constrained. In particular, there are few
quantitative constraints on sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and
latitudinal temperature gradients ...
