Abstract
The GSSP marking the base of the Cambrian System was ratified by the IUGS in 1992. Ratification of the GSSP point at the base of the Trichophycus pedum Ichnozone in the Fortune Head section, eastern Newfoundland, Canada, automatically defined the conterminant base of the lowermost series and stage of the Cambrian although names for those subdivisions were not proposed at the time of the decision. In 2007, the IUGS ratified the names Terreneuvian and Fortunian for these previously unnamed chronostratigraphic subdivisions. The Terreneuvian replaces the provisional name Series 1, and the Fortunian replaces the provisional name Stage 1, of the Cambrian System.
