Burgess Shale fossils The Burgess Shale is an exceptional Middle Cambrian age (about 540 million years ago) fossil locality located in Yoho National Park in the Rocky Mountains, near Field, British Columbia, Canada. The locality is special because of the soft-bodied preservation of a wide diversity of fossil invertebrate animals. The locality has been intensely studied since its discovery in 1909 by Charles Walcott, and has been declared a World Heritage Site. A popular introduction to the Burg ...

Localities of the Cambrian: The Burgess Shale Introduction and Discovery of the Burgess Shale The Burgess Shale is found in an area of the Canadian Rocky Mountains known as the Burgess Pass, and is located in British Columbia's Yoho National Park. Part of the ancient landmass called Laurentia, centered in Hudson Bay, the Burgess Shale represents one of the most diverse and well-preserved fossil localities in the world. These fossils have been gathered from shales of the Stephen Format ...

The Paleo Project.... A collection of Trilobites Have you ever imagined what it was like to be a Trilobite ? Swimming and crawling in the warm, shallow Paleozoic Oceans that covered the continents as we know them today. A time when life on Earth was in the beginnings. A time when major events are happening on Earth for the first time. Animals with eyes, animals living in colonies, vertebrates evolving, insects taking flight. The Paleozoic Era spans a time of 300 million years ...

The Semi-Compleat Trilobite (about the title) A far more complete presentation of trilobite images, links, and related information can be found at Kevin Brett's Trilobite home page. The quality of some images presented here is not great because I often use a video-capture setup with limited resolution. It is more convenient than film, and, most importantly, it saves film and processing costs for a project which is just for fun. The trilobite images are arranged in approximate stratigraphic o ...

The Major Fossil Groups Fossils can be grouped and studied in many ways, by size, habitat type, or phylogenetic groups. Large fossils like dinosaurs, corals, echinoderms, and macro-mollusks (macrofossils) were the primary emphasis of paleontologic studies in the 1700's, 1800's and early 1900's, because they were easily recognizable in the field and did not require special equipment to study them. As new and better microscopes were invented, more and more paleontologists began to use m ...
