	Cambrian Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cambrian Mountains are a mountain range in Mid Wales, reaching from the Brecon Beacons in South Wales to Snowdonia in North Wales.
		It is the type locality of the Cambrian period of the Paleozoic era (542-488Ma).
		The Cambrian Mountains were the winning answer to the final question in the tiebreakers of the 2006 National Geographic Bee, in which Illinois champ Bonny Jain triumphed over New Hampshire champion Neeraj Sirdeshmukh.

	Cambrian Mountains Society - Welcome and introduction
		The Cambrian Mountains are remote and sparsely-populated, and were described by writers in past centuries as the "Green Desert of Wales" - not the most promising of nicknames for one of the most beautiful, colourful and varied landscapes in southern Britain!
		The Cambrian Mountains almost fill the space between their better-known neighbours, the Snowdonia and Brecon Beacons National Parks.
		The area within the boundary is distinguished by the integrity and high quality of its landscape, by land use, and by socio-economic and cultural factors; it is largely moorland over 300m high, and the boundary generally follows the bases of the steeper hillsides.

	Characteristics of Early Cambrian Faunas from Eastern San Bernardino County, California
		The original discovery of fossiliferous lower Cambrian rocks was made more than 70 years ago in the southern end of the Marble Mountains about 3.3 kilometers northeast of the railroad siding of Cadiz.
		The lower Cambrian rocks consist of a conformable sequence of shallow marine, clastic and carbonate sediments which overlies cratonic Precambrian plutonic or metamorphic rocks to the south and Precambrian marine sediments to the north.
		The youngest subzone of the Early Cambrian is the Olenellus multinodus Subzone.

	Cambrian Mountains Society - Landscape - agriculture
		Apart from that land which is covered by water, the physical landscape of the Cambrian Mountains was, until the 1940s, almost exclusively given over to agriculture.
		Agriculture it was therefore that shaped that landscape, by clearance of scrub, by drainage, by grazing and by human occupation.
		In the post war years it was thought that in such "marginal agricultural" areas as the Cambrian Mountains the need for and financial viability of forestry products outweighed the requirement even for food.

	Trilobites In The Marble Mountains, Mojave Desert, California (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		At the classic trilobite quarry in the Marble Mountains, the Latham Shale averages around 50 feet in thickness and is also loaded with fossilized carapaces of trilobites, brachiopods, a siliceous sponge, a soft-bodied coelenterate (perhaps a jelly fish of some sort), an echinoderm and a mollusk or two.
		And the lower to Middle Cambrian Cadiz Formation is equivalent to the Monola Formation in northern Death Valley and the Emigrant Formation in adjacent western Nevada.
		At that distant time, the Marble Mountain trilobite quarry was situated near the equator in warm, shallow tropical sea waters that encouraged a genuine proliferation of early marine plants and animals.

	Cambrian
		In the Cambrian, the deeper water fissile shale facies is characterized by a lack of a large and diverse benthic infauna and the presence of a high diversity benthic fauna including sponges, hyolithids, brachiopods and a trilobite assemblage composed of both endemic and cosmopolitan species, with a higher percentage of complete specimens.
		The mountain ranges themselves are oriented nearly parallel to the craton, thus sedimentary patterns are reflecting little of their dip component and the progressive erosional downcutting expected to occur in a cratonward direction was thus hidden from view.
		In the Grapevine Mountains, to the north of the Funeral Mountains, exposed in the drainage walls of Titus Canyon, is an overturned Cambrian section which is a virtually identical section to the type Pyramid Shale Member.

		Although there is evidence of movement here, as is expected in an area where mountains have formed, the layers of rock showed good structural integrity that remained though the rocks were quite crumbly.

		Continents were heaved up above sea level, mountain ranges thrust upwards and the land masses drifted together as one great continent named Pangea.
