  1. However, the reasons why echinoderms evolved their unique pentaradial body plan remain unclear. ▪ The Cambrian fossil record provides valuable insights into the origin and early evolution of echinoderms over half a billion years ago. ▪ Cambrian echinoderms were morphologically diverse, with several extinct groups exhibiting character combinations that distinguish them from living species. ▪ Phylogenetic analyses of bilateral, asymmetrical, triradial, and pentaradial fossils have allowed us to decipher the assembly of the modern echinoderm body plan. ▪ Echinoderms became ecologically diverse early in their history, with varied modes of feeding, locomotion, and attachment.

    During the Late Cambrian to Early Ordovician, two echinoderm classes went extinct and at least eight others evolved. This class-level turnover event resulted in dramatic changes in the total amount of morphospace occupied as several new asterozoan, crinoid and echinozoan body plans evolved.

    Evolution of echinoderm larvae has taken place over widely varying time scales from the origins of larvae of living classes in the early Palaeozoic, approximately 500 million years ago, to recent, rapid and large-scale changes that have occurred within living genera within a span of less than a million years to a few million years.

    Echinoderms were ecologically, taxonomically, and morphologically diverse during the Cambrian and Ordovician periods, about 541–444 million years ago (Figure 1). During the early Paleozoic, they encompassed more than 30 distinctive clades.
