Wealden Lake was a freshwater lake which existed over the lands now considered to be northern France and southern England during the early Cretaceous around 140 million years ago . Alluvial plain s and river delta deltas spread from the uplands surrounding the area where London now stands and eventually ran into this great lake. Global tectonic shift during the mid to late Cretaceous especially in the Maastrichtian raised, tilted and thereby drained Wealden Lake. It would have been around the size of the Caspian Sea at its best preserved extent during the early Cretaceous. Strata associated with Wealden Lake have been prosperous for paeleontologists, providing the mysterious Baryonyx dinosaur among many other finds.

Arctica consisted of the Canadian Shield Canadian and Siberia continent Siberian Shield geography shield s, and is now roughly situated in the Arctic around the current North Pole . History Arctica joined with the continents Atlantica and Nena supercontinent Nena about one billion years ago to form the supercontinent , Rodinia . With the breakup of the supercontinent, Arctica s fragments have mostly stayed at higher latitudes. Nomenclature Arctica was chosen as a name because since its formation the continent and the cratons that broke away from it have spent most of their time in northerly latitudes.

Paibi was selected over the Kyrshabakty River section , Malyi Karatau , Kazakhstan , and the GSSP was ratified by the International Union of Geological Sciences in late 2003. It established the first formally agreed upon subdivision of the Cambrian. The Paibi section occurs within the Huaqiao Formation , which consists of a thick succession of carbonate beds Deposition sediment deposited in the outer part of the Jiangnan Slope Belt , and extends from the middle Cambrian through the Lower Ordovician . It satisfies all the geology geological and biostratigraphy biostratigraphic requirements for a GSSP, is readily accessible, and includes chemostratigraphy chemostratigraphic , Palaeogeography palaeogeographic , facies relationship, and sequence stratigraphy stratigraphic information. The section lies at an elevation of 774 metres. The evolution of Glyptagnostus reticulatus an Agnostida agnostoid trilobite from more Basal phylogenetics basal species of the Glyptagnostus genus marks the boundary. Other markers which occur near the boundary include the first appearance of the conodont Westergaardodina proligula and the Steptoean positive carbon isotope excursion , a large positive shift in carbon 13 isotope s.
