precambrian life

• Evidence of Precambrian Life in the UK is found in Leicester
• The fossil found is named Charnia
• Charnia lived by being attached to the sea floor and filtering particulates from the water
• Single-celled organisms first appeared 3.5 billion years ago in oceans
• Dickinsonia were among the first organisms to move, possibly using very small legs to crawl along the sea floor and scrape algae off rocks
• Kimberella were slug-like animals that slid across the floor, scraping algae from rocks
• Spriggina were the first organisms to have a modern body layout, including a head, legs, a body, and an excretory pore. They were the foundation of all living animals
