I was watching a talk earlier that mentioned the oxygen in the Cambrian probably came in waves through the different underwater environments creating pockets of anoxic water. So it would make sense the shell and skeletal growth stops and starts if oxygen is an important factor. Not an expert just wondering if this might be the case.
