<span>Prior to the Cambrian, organisms with hard parts (eg. shells and bones) weren't present for most the time, and it's generally such hard parts that get to fossilize. There's also been more time for Precambrian deposits to get destroyed by natural processes, </span>
<span>The supply of Precambrian fossils has actually greatly improved over the last few decades. The so called Ediacaran faunas have been found at many parts of the world, and would be worth looking into.hope it helps</span>

Answer:
t = 2.13 10-10 s
, d = 6.39 cm
Explanation:
For this exercise we use the definition of refractive index
n = c / v
Where n is the refraction index, c the speed of light and v the speed in the material medium.
The refractive indices of ice and crown glass are 1.13 and 1.52, respectively, therefore the speed of the beam in the material medium is
v = c / n
As the beam strikes perpendicularly, the beam path is equal to the distance of the leaves, there is no refraction, so we can use the uniform motion relationships
v = d / t
t = d / v
t = d n / c
Let's look for the times on each sheet
Ice
t₁ = 1.4 10⁻² 1.31 / 3 10⁸
t₁ = 0.6113 10⁻¹⁰ s
Crown glass (BK7)
t₂ = 3.0 10⁻² 1.52 / 3.0 10⁸
t₂ = 1.52 10⁻¹⁰ s
Time is a scalar therefore it is additive
t = t₁ + t₂
t = (0.6113 + 1.52) 10⁻¹⁰
t = 2.13 10-10 s
The distance traveled by this time in a vacuum would be
d = c t
d = 3 10⁸ 2.13 10⁻¹⁰
d = 6.39 10⁻² m
d = 6.39 cm
