Description

As the agency reported it.

The first two objectives included searches for and documentation of paleontological sedimentological and stratigraphic information preserved within three shelf-to-slope transects at multiple field sites. These local studies would then be integrated into a regional stratigraphic and geochronological framework from which the proponents could evaluate potential factors controlling the distribution of ediacaran fossils by testing the hypothesis that varying faunal composition is entirely the result of evolutionary change with time. A third objective would aim to place these proposed findings within a global context intended to provide new constraints on the timing and environmental setting of the evolution diversification and subsequent demise of the first animal communities on earth.
