Terreneuvian
Sign in to saveAlso known as Terreneuvian Epoch, Terreneuvian Series, Cambrian Series 1, Cambrian Epoch 1
The Terreneuvian or Early Cambrian is the lowermost and oldest series of the Cambrian geological system. Its base is defined by the first appearance datum of the trace fossil Treptichnus pedum around million years ago. Its top is defined as the first appearance of trilobites in the stratigraphic record around million years ago. This series' name was formally accepted by the International Commission on Stratigraphy in 2007.

The Terreneuvian or Early Cambrian is the lowermost and oldest series of the Cambrian geological system. Its base is defined by the first appearance datum of the trace fossil Treptichnus pedum around million years ago. Its top is defined as the first appearance of trilobites in the stratigraphic record around million years ago. This series' name was formally accepted by the International Commission on Stratigraphy in 2007.
The Fortunian stage and presently unnamed Cambrian Stage 2 are the stages within this series. The Terreneuvian corresponds to the pre-trilobitic Cambrian.
