Abstract

A spectacular Cambrian soft bodied fauna some 40 km from Walcott's original Burgess Shale locality includes over 50 taxa, some 20% new to science. New anatomical evidence from this site will illuminate the evolution of early marine animals.<br /> (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
