And is there a more descriptive title we could use? Once again though, great work - it looks a lot better than my initial fiddle! Verisimilus T 16:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! It wasn't all that hard, though it took a fair bit of work to get it really sorted well. I've put the first Ediacarans at 610 mya, as that's the range I found for the discs. I'd have liked to include all the organisms mentioned, but it looks like some of them are only known from one small site, and thus have little known range... I suppose we could work around this, but... Adam Cuerden ^talk 17:16, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be possible to select a few key organisms, in order to display the gradual emergence of more complex modes of life. Kimberella, showing the onset of predation, for example. Although there will always be a real danger of overcluttering... Verisimilus T 10:28, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
