The Burgess Shale

The Burgess Shale can be found within the Burgess Pass of the Canadian Rockies, which is within the Yoho National Park of British Columbia.  It contains very well preserved fossils, including soft-bodied animals.  This provides scientists information about the Cambrian explosion and its evolutionary effects.
