Early Cambrian metazoan fossil record of South China: Generic diversity and radiation patterns (2007, background): “Considering that the Qiongzhusian may only represent an interval of a few million years (Babcock et al., 2001), it becomes evident that the rate of metazoan diversification during this interval is very rapid.”
Articulated sponges from the Lower Cambrian Hetang Formation in southern Anhui, South China: their age and implications for the early evolution of sponges (2005, methodology): “The Heilinpu Formation (Luo et al., 1994; Babcock et al., 2001) is equivalent to the Shiyantou and Yu’anshan formations combined.”
The comparative biology of environmental stress: behavioural endocrinology and variation in ability to cope with novel, changing environments (2013, background): “In the early Cambrian, evidence indicates minor local and short-lived perturbations in fossils revealed by sediment movements of organisms probably affected the life cycles of these organisms (Babcock et al. 2001).”
