| Description |
This comes from just south of Ercaicun, ~4 km WSW of Haikou, Kunming City Prefecture, east-central Yunnan Province, southwestern China. This rock was deposited not long after the Cambrian Explosion (the sudden, evolutionary appearance of abundant fossil life near the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary). On a global scale, phosphorite deposition was at its maximum, volumetrically, during the Neoproterozoic and Cambrian. |
