Although a few fossils have been found in rocks of ' Geol. Mag. 1879^ p. i.
io6 OLDER GEOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ELUCIDATED Pre-Cambrian age, as elsewhere noted, it is not until we reach the base of the Cambrian that a clearly- defined fauna is met with.
The earliest fossiliferous stage in
...the Cambrian is characterised by the trilobite Olenellus, described by James Hall in 1862. Some fossils, now regarded as belonging to this zone, were discovered in 1844 in America by Ebenezer Emmons (1799-1863), who has been spoken of as the founder of American PalEeozoic stratigraphy ; but the organic remains were first fully described by C. D. Walcott in his monograph on The Fauna of the Lower Cambrian or Olenellus Zone, issued in 1891.
Writing in 1888,' Professor Lap worth remarked that the Olenellus fauna had been also recognised in Scandi- navia, while its presence in England had been first detected by him on the flanks of Caer Caradoc in 1885, but the specimens were too poor for description.
