Reply to comment by imafrk in Is it possible that abiogenesis is still happening right now on earth? by dolekanteel

Your first point reminds me of the Ediacaran biota, which appears to contain the earliest forms of multi-cellular life - before even the Cambrian Explosion. What's fascinating is that probably 99.9% of these species died out 600 million years ago, with that small fraction surviving into the Cambrian to establish the forms we know today.

Agreed, the Ediacaran period was a frontrunner for MCL. Shame we know so little about the transition from that period
