Creationists are fond of quoting Axelrod as saying, " One of the major unsolved problems of geology and evolution is the occurrence of diversified, multicellular marine invertebrates in Lower Cambrian rocks on all the continents and their absence in rocks of great age."
They conveniently omit the subtitle of the article, which reads, "A new hypothesis than can in some measure be tested explains its origin in terms of coastal sites."
I don't have access to that article, so I can't find out what that hypothesis is.
Could someone look it up for me? Here is the bibliographic information:
Axelrod, D. I. 1958. Early Cambrian marine fauna: A new hypothesis that can in some measure be tested explains its origin in terms of coastal sites. Science 128, 3314 (July 4): 7-9.
