Vertebrata (kingdom Metazoa, phylum Chordata) The subphylum which includes the fish, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia. These appear successively in the fossil record, starting in the Ordovician (although traces of fish are now known from the late Cambrian). The lower chordates (e.g. the living Amphioxus) are soft-bodied and first appear in the Cambrian.
