Stromatolites of the Pika Formation (Middle Cambrian) near Helen Lake, Banff National Park, Canada
Trilobites were very common during this time
Anomalocaris was an early marine predator, among the various arthropods of the time
Opabinia was a creature with an unusual body plan; it was probably related to arthropods
Pikaia was a stem-chordate from the Middle Cambrian
Protichnites were the trackways of arthropods that walked Cambrian beaches
Hallucigenia sparsa was a member of group lobopodian, that is considered to related to modern velvet worms.
Cambroraster falcatus was a large arthropod for the era
