The precise timing of when animal body plans evolved and rapidly diversified during the Cambrian Explosion remains mysterious. This project will investigate vast collections of exquisitely preserved early-middle Cambrian fossils from Australia to determine the precise order of evolutionary events at the root of the animal tree of life.

在寒武纪大爆发期间，动物身体结构何时进化并迅速多样化的确切时间仍然是个谜。该项目将调查来自澳大利亚的大量保存完好的早中寒武纪化石，以确定动物生命之树根部进化事件的精确顺序。
