The Cambrian Age occurred about 500 million years ago and lasted for about 80 million years, during which all life was confined to water. It is also the first geological age from which we have recovered a good fossil record.
The most familiar fossils of the Cambrian Period are the Trilobites, the bug-like ancestors of today’s crustaceans. It is this reason that an image of Trilobite fossils is used by the Foundation.
