The long-held notion that Precambrian organisms must have been too
small or too delicate to have been preserved in geological materials… [is]
now recognized as incorrect. 166
According to Berkeley paleontologist James Valentine and his col-
leagues:
The explosion is real, it is too big to be masked by flaws in the fossil
record… even more abrupt and extensive than previously envisioned. 167
David M. Raup is a paleontologist at the University of Chicago:
The major subgroups appear early and at about the same time… Nearly
all living phyla of marine invertebrates that have reasonably good fossil
records have first occurrences either in the late Precambrian or early to
