The Furongian (also known as the Late Cambrian, Merioneth, Croixian, or Potsdamian) is the third and final geological epoch of the Cambrian Period. It spans the time between 501 ± 2 Ma and 488.3 ± 1.7 Ma (million years ago). It is divided into two ICS stages, of which only the first (Paibian) is named. Rocks of the Late Cambrian epoch are referred to as Upper Cambrian strata. During the Furongian, trilobites proliferated; they serve as useful index fossils.
