Monoplacophoran mollusks, thought to be extinct for 380 million years, were discovered thriving on the bottom of the ocean in 1952. There are currently 20 extant species of monoplacophorans making these mollusks some of the very few survivors since the Cambrian period, long before the dinosaurs.

Trilobite Fossil approximately 400 million years old. Trilobites, exclusively marine animals, first appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian period, about 542 million years ago. v.redd.it/068xwf3lpmq51

Throwback to one of my first few grows, B+ with unacceptably low FAE, C02 levels rivaling the Cambrian period. Purdy ferda pic, but those stems were annoyingly fragile when dry.
Scytalocrinus (Circa. 350 Million BCE), Edwardsville Formation, Crawfordsville, Indiana. I've had this fossil for years and I've never shown it off. It's my favorite from my collection of fossils from the Pre-Cambrian through Carboniferous periods. I don't really collect younger fossils than that.

Cambrian Period resources?
Hi all!
I am new to Reddit, I joined because I am fascinated by the Cambrian Period/Cambrian Explosion. I was wondering if anyone knew of any media resources (podcasts, audiobooks, movies) that they recommend on the subject! Books are also welcome, however I prefer resources that I can listen to because I have ADHD. I have seen David Attenborough's First Life and listened to all the podcast episodes I could find that mentioned the Cambrian Period. Thanks so much for your help, I'm so excited to be joining this community!

[WP] In the year 2022, the space-time continuum briefly becomes unstable, resulting in hundreds of extinct animals, spanning from the Cambrian period to the ice age, are misplaced in this modern world. You are one of the ancient creatures that was misplaced in this strange new world.

This is Hallucigenia sparsa, a 10-50 mm lobopodian worm from the Middle Cambrian period, 508 million years ago. It was a small detritivore and grazer on sponges, most likely Archaeocyathids. It was found to have simple eyes, after study under an electron microscope. Photo Credit: Studio 252MYA

Researchers have discovered a fossilized arthropod dating to the Cambrian Period that appears to have a 'patchwork' of physical traits associated with other ancient arthropods. The discovery could represent a "transition" species in the timeline of arthropod evolution. inverse.com/science/weirdβ¦

Gogia Palmeri, Middle Cambrian Period, Spence Shale, Bear River Range, Idaho: These are a pair of uncommon Cambrian era echinoderms which have now been classified as cystoids. This particular sample was discovered in 1976 and was part of the renowned George Lee collection.
