I could go on, but that should suffice for now.
the reply was made after examining your text, shall i point out the could be's, what if's,
and it might have been's in context? no? well then, it remains under the circumstances
pure conjecture and to prove its a matter of intepretation i can find zillions of sites
that testify to the fact that there was an explosion of life,
Explosion of Invertebrate Life
During the Cambrian Period there was an explosion of life forms. Most of these were
in the water. Many animals with no backbones lived in the shallow seas. These
animals were invertebrates.

The theory of the Cambrian Explosion holds that, beginning some 545 million years
ago, an explosion of diversity led to the appearance over a relatively short period
of 5 million to 10 million years of a huge number of complex, multi-celled
organisms. Moreover, this burst of animal forms led to most of the major animal
groups we know today

Its not termed the Cambrian explosion for nothing you know!
