The earliest geological period of the [[Paleozoic|Palaeozoic]] era, the [[Cambrian]], takes its name from the [[Cambrian Mountains]], where geologists first identified Cambrian remnants.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://palaeos.com/paleozoic/cambrian/cambrian.htm |publisher=[[palaeos]].com |date=11 April 2002 |title=The Cambrian Period of the Paleozoic Era: 542 to 488 Million Years Ago |access-date=2 October 2010 |archive-date=26 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101126092715/http://palaeos.com/Paleozoic/Cambrian/Cambrian.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=Sedgwick1852>{{cite journal|doi=10.1144/GSL.JGS.1852.008.01-02.20|last=Sedgwick |first=A. |year=1852|title=On the classification and nomenclature of the Lower Paleozoic rocks of England and Wales|journal=Q.

The next two periods of the Palaeozoic era, the [[Ordovician]] and [[Silurian]], were named after ancient Celtic tribes from this area.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://palaeos.com/paleozoic/silurian/silurian.htm|publisher=[[palaeos]].com|date=11 April 2002|title=The Silurian: The Silurian Period of the Paleozoic Era: 444 to 416 Mya|access-date=10 February 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309135815/http://palaeos.com/paleozoic/silurian/silurian.htm|archive-date=9 March 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://palaeos.com/paleozoic/ordovician/ordovician.htm|publisher=[[palaeos]].com|date=11 April 2002|title=The Ordovician: The Ordovician Period of the Paleozoic Era: 488 to 444 million years ago|access-date=10 February 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307063915/http://palaeos.com/paleozoic/ordovician/ordovician.htm|archive-date=7 March 2012}}</ref>
