A chordate (/ ˈ k ɔːr d eɪ t / KOR-dayt) is a deuterostomic animal belonging to the phylum Chordata (/ k ɔːr ˈ d eɪ t ə / kor-DAY-tə). All chordates possess, at some point during their larval or adult stages, five distinctive physical characteristics ( synapomorphies ) that distinguish them from other taxa .
Cambrian chordates. The Cambrian chordates are an extinct group of animals belonging to the phylum Chordata that lived during the Cambrian, between 538 and 485 million years ago. The first Cambrian chordate known is Pikaia gracilens, a lancelet -like animal from the Burgess Shale in British Columbia, Canada.
Origin of chordates. According to a long-standing theory, the origin of chordates may be found in transformed larvae of sea-squirts ( tunicates ). Adult tunicates are sessile, but their larvae are motile, and have some features found in early vertebrates.

chordate, any member of the phylum Chordata, which includes the vertebrates (subphylum Vertebrata), the most highly evolved animals, as well as two other subphyla—the tunicates (subphylum Tunicata) and cephalochordates (subphylum Cephalochordata).
