View from Google Earth of Burgess Shale
The Burgess Shale is a fascinating archaeological destination. Discovered in 1909 by Charles D. Walcott, it houses fossils of many soft-bodied creatures that have never been found before. Several of the fossils discovered by Walcott offer no correlation to any present-day animals. The origin and fate of these species are still being researched. The impact of this discovery has changed our whole perception of the fossil time line and evolution as a result.
