South Australia holds what is considered by many the best record of early animals in the world, represented by the Ediacara Biota of the Flinders Ranges and the Cambrian fauna from the Emu Bay Shale in Kangaroo Island. Research on both regions during the last two decades by Adelaide University and the SA Museum has uncovered extensive new material and led to several outstanding discoveries.
