The Precambrian-Cambrian Boundary In the history of the Earth geologists study events in the geologic time scale and fossil record to gain an understanding of the structural and biological history of our planet. One of the debated and studied areas of Earth’s history is the sudden occurrence of multicellular hard-shelled organisms from soft bodied and single celled organisms in the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary. The debut of hard parts in the fossil record is believed to have occurred 570 million

At this point all of the students are parent isotopes. Every student should then flip their penny. Students whose penny lands heads-up should sit down. These students who are now seated are now daughter isotopes. The remaining standing students should again flip their penny‚ and students whose penny lands heads-up

The understanding of the fossil record on the development of ideas in relation to the history of life of Earth has increased rapidly over the past decades due to more discoveries being made and a significant expansion of knowledge of scientists and discovery groups. The common fossil‚ Archaeopteryx‚ is a breed of bird-like dinosaurs which is between feathered dinosaurs and modern birds. As of the 19th and early 21st century‚ Archaeopteryx had been accepted by palaeontologists as the oldest known
