[edit] Confusing statement
Aside from a few enigmatic forms that may or may not represent animals, all modern animal phyla with any fossil record to speak of (except bryozoans) appear to have representatives in the Cambrian, and of these most except sponges seem to have originated just after or just before the start of the period. However, several modern phyla, primarily those with small and/or soft bodies, have no fossil record, in the Cambrian or otherwise.
What a mess those two sentences are. First it says that all modern phyla are represented, then it says some aren't. And are the "few enigmatic forms" from the Cambrian, or are they current (I'll take a guess at cambrian, but I shouldn't have to)? The structure of this part is very confusing, and should be sorted out. Totnesmartin 17:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
