Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how kambrisch appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Auch wenn der Begriff "kambrische Explosion" heute relativiert wird und das Ereignis nicht mehr als völlig einzigartig in der Geschichte des Lebens gilt, bleibt doch eines: Im frühen Kambrium, vor etwa 543 bis 530 Millionen Jahren kam es zu einer starken Erhöhung der Artenvielfalt in kurzer Zeit.
Das bedeutet, dass viele kambrische Formen nur in bestimmten paläogeographischen Gebieten vorkommen, was eine globale Korrelation der kambrischen Gesteinsserien und damit das Aufstellen eines einheitlichen globalen Zeitschemas erheblich erschwert.
