Knoll, Andrew; Walter, Malcolm, Narbonne, Guy, Christie-Blick, Nicholas.The Ediacaran Period: a new addition to the geologic time scale (англ.) // Lethaia : journal. — 2006. — March (vol. 39, no. 1). — P. 13—30 at 25—6. — ISSN0024-1164. — doi:10.1080/00241160500409223.. — «The name «Idiyakra», or «Ediacara», is Australian Aboriginal in origin and can be traced back to 1859 or a little earlier, when the first white pastoralists took up lands in the far north western Flinders Ranges. Its etymology links it to a place where water is or was present close by or about, either in the sense of the present or extending distantly into past wetter times. As water is synonymous with life in the harsh, arid lands of Australia, it is a fitting name for a time when the first megascopic marine animals evolved. As the records of early surveyors and State Parliamentary records show, the ending of the name sounded as a «kra», «ker», or «ka», and hence the appropriate name of the Period is «Ediacaran» (quoted from R.J.F. Jenkins, unpublished note 2003).».
