Question

Furongian is an Epoch of:

• A. Cambrian
• B. Ordovician
• C. Triassic
• D. Cretaceous

Hint:

The Furongian is the final Epoch of the Cambrian Period, characterized by the evolution of marine life.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Furongian Epoch is part of the Cambrian Period, which is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era. The Furongian represents the final stages of the Cambrian Period, and it spans the time from approximately 497 to 485 million years ago. This epoch is characterized by significant evolutionary events, including the diversification of marine life and the development of early trilobites.
- Ordovician (B) follows the Cambrian period, so Furongian is not an Ordovician Epoch.
- Triassic (C) and Cretaceous (D) are much later periods and are not related to the Furongian Epoch.
Thus, the correct answer is (A) Cambrian.
