If your truly searching for truth about the cambrian perhaps a person should check the peer reviewed science journals instead of anti-creationist websites like talkorigins.They state that no plant,spider,rabbit or any other mammal has been found.
Heres what we find in peer reviewed journas:
IN THE CAMBRIAN,John Repetski,US Geol. Survey,"The oldest land plants now known are from the early cambrian...Approximately 60 cambrian spore-genera are now on record...Represent 6 different groups of vascular plants..."EVOLUTION,V.13,6/59,P.264"
Micheal Cremos' book "Human Devolution" sites a source for plants and insects from the cambrian in india.
I guess if we pulled a rabbit out of the cambrian they would only say "Why do we only find single celled organisms below it?"
Just another example why evolution is unfalsifiabal.

There are always skeptics that dont accept what we already know and try to figure out some way to redate or ignore the evidence,but the truth always leaves evidence behind anyway.
Heres a 2006 article;MULTIPLE LINES OF EVIDENCE SUPPORT THE PRESENCE OF CAMBRIAN LAND PLANTS gsa.confex.com/gsa/2006AM/finalprogram/abstract_114319.htm - 6k -
Enjoy.

From Michael cremos' book:
In chapter 3, I present a case of fossil evidence showing that the current Darwinian picture of the evolution of nonhuman species is also in need of revision. Beginning in the 1940s, geologists and paleobotanists working with the Geological Survey of India explored the Salt Range Mountains in what is now Pakistan. They found deep in salt mines evidence for the existence of advanced flowering plants and insects in the early Cambrian periods, about 600 million years ago. According to standard evolutionary ideas, no land plants or animals existed at that time. Flowering plants and insects are thought to have come into existence hundreds of millions of years later. To explain the evidence some geologists proposed that there must have been a massive overthrust, by which Eocene layers, about 50 million years old, were thrust under Cambrian layers, over 550 million years old. Others pointed out that there were no geological signs of such an overthrust. According to these scientists, the layers bearing the fossils of the advanced plants and insects were found in normal position, beneath strata containing trilobites, the characteristic fossil of the Cambrian. One of these scientists, E. R. Gee, a geologist working with the Geological Survey of India, proposed a novel solution to the problem. In the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of India for the year 1945 (section B, v. 16, pp. xlv-xlvi), paleobotanist Birbal Sahni noted: “Quite recently, an alternative explanation has been offered by Mr. Gee. The suggestion is that the angiosperms, gymnosperms and insects of the Saline Series may represent a highly evolved Cambrian or Precambrian flora and fauna! In other words, it is suggested that these plants and animals made their appearance in the Salt Range area several hundred million years earlier than they did anywhere else in the world. One would scarcely have believed that such an idea would be seriously put forward by any geologist today.” The controversy was left unresolved. In the 1990s, petroleum geologists, unaware of the earlier controversy, restudied the area. They determined that the salt deposits below the Cambrian deposits containing trilobites were early Cambrian or Precambrian. In other words, they found no evidence of an overthrust. The salt deposits were in a natural position below the Cambrian deposits. This supports Gee’s suggestion that the plant and insect remains in the salt deposits were evidence of an advanced fauna and flora existing in the early Cambrian. This evidence contradicts not only the Darwinian concept of the evolution of humans but of other species as well.
One of the most comprehensive papers you can find on evidence for precambrian plants,including sources and referrences and why evolutionist and creationist alike dont like the evidence.

Here is also evidencne of possibily magor vertebrates being present as well.

Abstract from the article;A GROUP of fossils with bodies less than half a millimetre long is perplexing parasitologists. The fossils are 500 million years old, and the animals from which they formed are the earliest known parasites. They look almost identical to the larvae of modern pentastomids, or tongue worms, which infect a wide range of vertebrates including crocodiles, birds, lions and occasionally humans. Yet the fossils were formed hundreds of millions of years before the animals' present hosts evolved
How can you have land parasites of magor vertebrates in the cambrian if magor vertebrates dont exist?It' almost like finding a dog collar and claiming you still dont beleive dog's exist.
I dont know how it all fits into the young earth model,but im pretty convinced evolution is out of the picture scientificaly.
Thanks.
