Since then, geologists have found similar Ediacaran faunas in Precambrian rocks from other parts of the world as well. en September 04, 2019 Helen Sullivan Behold Mortichnia, the Death Trail of an Ancient Worm w:The New York Times https://web.archive.org/web/20190904161036/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/04/science/archaeology-fossils-worms-mortichnia.html 0362-4331 1645522 Science The creature, Yilingia spiciformis — named after the Yiling district in which it was discovered — was a complicated one by the standards of the Ediacaran Period: mobile, segmented, trilobate (each body segment composed of three lobes) and bilaterally symmetrical. en 2022-11-22 Donna Lu The real paleo diet: researchers find traces of world’s oldest meal in 550m-year-old fossil w:The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/nov/23/the-real-paleo-diet-researchers-find-traces-of-worlds-oldest-meal-in-550m-year-old-fossil Scientists who have analysed ancient fossils of Ediacaran biota – life forms that existed between 538.8m and 635m years ago – say they represent the earliest evidence of food consumed by animals. https://web.archive.org/web/20261018113030/https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/nov/23/the-real-paleo-diet-researchers-find-traces-of-worlds-oldest-meal-in-550m-year-old-fossil 18 October 2026 Translations of a geologic period from about 620 to 542 million years ago Esperanto: eo ediakara Finnish: fi ediacarakautinen Hungarian: hu Ediakara Italian: it ediacarano m Russian: ru эдиакарский m Spanish: es ediacárico Proper noun en geology The Ediacaran period. from 20th c. en 2008 Doug Macdougall Nature’s Clocks: How Scientists Measure the Age of Almost Everything 145 http://books.google.com.au/books?id=ZaEdAun3pn4C&pg=PA145&dq=%22Ediacaran%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=LCbRUtO4CYq3kgWEj4DgAw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22Ediacaran%22&f=false Recently, in 2004, a new geological period, the Ediacaran, was formally added to the time scale.
