Come with us and travel back in time to the geologic period known as the Cambrian Explosion Time Machine Travel Bureau

Pack your bags: it will be cool to start but it will warm up so layering is best. The ocean is huge so if you bring environmentally friendly soap laundry will not be a problem.

Continents are forming so “tourist attractions” are all about nature. In the beginning you will see few plants and animals but once things get started: WOW!!!! When you arrive you will not recognize the place! You will notice that the tectonic plates have gathered together into a continent known as GONDWANA.

The seas are a good place for species to live while the continents are still forming. The sponges and the gastropods are fantastic!

Just look at some of what you may see!

What else will you need? With more ocean than land, sleeping in a raft will be an adventure! A fishing net and pole would be useful. You may be bigger than anything you see, so you should be safe!

The cynobacteria will cause the oxygen levels to increase and make photosynthesis possible so eventually your ability to breathe will increase. Until that time you will be happy that you packed some oxygen.

Just a little history before you leave: Adam Sedgwick named the Cambrian in He derived the name from “Cambria”, the Roman name for Wales. This site had shale and sandstone.

Rocks of this period are in the basins and ranges throughout the western part of the US, the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains, in New England and Wisconsin. But when you go back in time you will see where it all began.

The Middle Cambrian years are known for their Burgess Shale

So make your reservations now! Take the trip of this lifetime (or any other lifetime) Seating is limited.
