Proto-Arthropods in Ediacaran 590-530 Mya ??


Recommended Posts

Trilobites, from c.525 Mya, look like 'derived forms' of Praecambridium sigillum & Skania, from c.40 Myr before. Indeed, the former looks like it had three armored lobes. If so, then 'proto-Arthropods' can be identified, in the Ediacaran period. Is this 'obviously false' ??
