Il Cambriano è una delle più importanti divisioni della scala dei tempi geologici che comincia 541,0 ± 1,0 milioni di anni fa (Ma), alla fine dell'eone Proterozoico, e si conclude 485,4 ± 1,9 milioni di anni fa con l'avvento del periodo Ordoviciano. È il primo periodo dell'era paleozoica nell'eone Fanerozoico. Cambria è il nome latino medievale del Galles, dove fu ritrovata la prima roccia risalente a questo periodo. Durante il Cambriano non era ancora sviluppata la vita sulla terraferma ma ce n'era moltissima nell'acqua, in particolare: brachiopodi, meduse, onicofori, spugne, trilobiti e trilobitiformi.
