Burgess Shale FaunaJulien KimmigEncyclopedia of Geology (Second Edition)
It is predicted that 30% of modern marine megafauna2 and 80% of macrofauna genera3 would leave no fossil record, whilst 86% of genera from the Burgess Shale would not have been preserved under normal circumstances4. This has led to Burgess Shale-type lagerstätten being viewed as near-...
Burgess Shale-type fossil assemblages provide the best evidence of the ‘Cambrian explosion’. Here we report the discovery of an extraordinary new soft-bodied fauna from the Burgess Shale. Despite its proximity (ca. 40 km) to Walcott’s original locality, the Marble Canyon fossil assemblage ...

Burgess Shale faunaCambrian spongeBradoriidFossils of trilobites and hyolithids were first identified in the Llanberis Slate of Penrhyn Quarry, Bethesda, North Wales, in 1888, and were reviewed in 1950, leading to the assignment of an early Cambrian (Stage 3, series 2) age. Recent collections...
Rare non-trilobite arthropods, mostly with affinities with the Burgess Shale fauna, are described from the Middle Cambrian Jince Formation of the Barrandian area, Central Bohemia (Czech Republic): Tuzoia sp., another large Tuzoia-like arthropod (probably a new genus), Proboscicaris hospes sp....
The Burgess Shale fauna and the early evolution of metazoan animalsWhittington, H B
burgessensis reaching over 20 mm in width are known from the Burgess Shale28. Specimen 1 is attached approximately 0.5 mm from the apex of the spine and its notothyrium (where the pedicle emerges) is centered on the mid-area of the spine (fig. 1c). The dorsal spine is located ...
