This was an amazing video! Ediacaran biota are truly some of the most overlooked forms of multicellular life, existing at the frontiers of what was possible for life more than a half a billion years ago.

[@wendydomino]

What always amazes me is how basically since the only non-sessile phases of the first animals were larva, basically all life that moves around under its own power is an example of neoteny.

The Avalon Explosion sounds like an amazing band name, I bet they'd be so old-school that even people 580 million years old will like it.

They would have to be a Roxy Music cover band with the name Avalon Explosion...

Great video! We think mostly of the Cambrian Explosion, but it's important to remember that there was one in the Ediacaran era as we. What a fascinating world! Thanks so much for uploading!

[@DulceN]

Fascinating. I’ve been reading about early life on Earth for years but, for some unknown reason, never came across the term ‘Ediacaran’ until now.

[@No-_-one-_-]

That's weird

[@SamuelVarela-ej2zp]

Very well done. Excellent graphics depicting the Endiacaran "Fauna".

[@superhaven3647]

It blows me away that jellyfish are possibly the sole surviving members of the ediacaran.

[@wendydomino]

And sponges and penis worms

[@oberonpanopticon]

Don’t forget foraminifera!

[@wendydomino]

We still have penis worms

[@12carbon]

Fantastic Ediacaran fossils are on public display in South Australia museum on North Terrace in Adelaide. The period is named for the Ediacara hills in the northern Flinders Ranges in South Australia where Reg Sprigg from Adelaide University discovered them in 1946, though the actual site of this first discovery is in Brachina Gorge, about 50km from the fossil beds in the Ediacara hills.

My interest in mainly in Dickinsonia genus. As long as Sonia was concenting adult, I am OK.

[@jamesbugbee9026]

Once saw what looked like a Dickensonia, along w/ 3 cleared, matching-sized footprint-like areas in a zigzag trail, suggesting the creature would land on the bacterial floor, ingest the life there, then waft 2 its next landing, repeat process, controlling its course w/in the local current. Havent seen this image since - knowing career politix has evolved 2 greatly perverse levels, i wonder if it has been stashed away or worse? If the image was true, ol' Dick would have had a nervious system between its (at least) 2 layers of tissue, w/ a favored 'head' end 4 orientation, pretty clever 4 a critter @ such an early stage of development. Then again, 2 billion year old tubeworms could make Dick seem quite the slacker

Is there literally anything still alive from the Ediacaran?

[@subzero-y3b]

great qus, i asked gpt n i know this maybe is not enough but i was just curious as much as u and here is the answer : "The Ediacaran Period, which lasted from approximately 635 to 541 million years ago, represents one of the earliest periods in Earth's history when complex multicellular life forms began to emerge. While many of the organisms from the Ediacaran biota are extinct, some researchers believe that certain modern organisms may have evolved from or share similarities with those ancient life forms. However, direct descendants of Ediacaran organisms are not definitively known. Some modern organisms, such as sponges and cnidarians (e.g., jellyfish), have simple body plans that are reminiscent of some Ediacaran fossils. Additionally, microbial communities and some algae may have existed during the Ediacaran Period and are still present today, although they have likely undergone significant evolutionary changes over millions of years. Overall, while there may be indirect connections between modern life forms and those from the Ediacaran Period, direct descendants or survivors from that era are not known to exist. The transition from the Ediacaran to the Cambrian Period marked a significant diversification of life forms and the emergence of the ancestors of many modern animal groups."
