SUPERCONTINENT - RODINIA
What causes break-up?

Contributions to the Cambrian Explosion of Life
• End of the extreme snowball earth glaciation
• Tectonic break-up of Rodinia increases niches
• Potentially higher atmospheric O2 promotes calcite exoskeleton secretion
• Increased nutrients associated with more rifting and volcanic activity
• Abundant cyanobacterial mats for molluscs and other small invertebrates to graze
• Development of predators
• Tiering of biotic activity on the sea floors

The Ordovician “Explosion”
Changes in Ordovician from Cambrian Fauna
• more complex food chain
• extend higher above the seabed
• hard part made of calcite rather than phospate

The Great Permo-Triassic Extinction90-95% of all marine species die out, and land life too
Proposed Causes - Global cooling due to Gondwana glaciation- Reduced marine habitat due to the creation of Pangea - Extreme climatic changes- Oxygen depletion due to exposure of coal deposits- Upwelling of CO2 from deep ocean waters – hypercapnia- Intense outpouring of basalt in SerbiaNO EVIDENCE OF A METEOR IMPACT AT LEAST!
