Could something, say a low radiation dose, or such cause the quickened death of some creatures, yet be of little enough effect on 'higher life'?
Define "higher life".
Perhaps you could give us some of your ideas (with proper support of course) so that we can speculate on how such event could be possible.

Since you outlaw the bible as evidence, you would have to show why there could not have been water under there, contrary to God's opinion.
According to logic, the weight of proof always falls on the side that claims the positive. In this case, you would have to show at least some evidence there could have been water there.
Here is a simplified version of what I just stated just in case we have some kind of misunderstanding in communication. Say that I make this claim: There are green goblins running around my house. If you are a skeptic like myself or a good scientist, you would then kindly ask me to provide evidence that there are really green goblins in my house. Assuming that my claim is true, I probably have 2 options: (1) to bring you into my house and show you a green goblin or (2) capture one and bring it to you. Here is the important part. Wouldn't you doubt me if I tell you to disprove to me that there aren't any green goblin?
Also, please tell us how you know god's opinion?
How can you prove you just breathed out in the last 15 minutes?
We know for a fact that a human beings cannot survive 15 minutes without breathing. I had my physical 8 months ago, and the doctor confirmed that I was a human being.
How can you prove you emptied your bladder in the last three days?
That is simple. There are traces of my urine in sticking to the inside of the toilet. It has been a while since I cleaned it. If needed, I can have a sample sent to a lab that will confirm it is from my bladder.
How can you prove there was no water under there?
Again, the weight of proof falls on the side that claims the positive. In other words, we don't have to prove to you that there was no water under there. You are suppose to prove it to us.
Would you at least concede that the explanation put forth here fit the bible's version of events?
No.
Then, if you don't think that is right, and the fossils could not be a record of creation cambrian death, then why not?
Insufficient evidence for such a hypothesis.
