If you have a question about this talk, please contact Andy Buckley .

In 2012, an extraordinary new soft-bodied fossil assemblage from the Burgess Shale was discovered in Kootenay National Park, some ~40 km SE of the type area at Field, British Columbia. Despite its geographic and temporal proximity to the Walcott Quarry biota, the Marble Canyon assemblage is distinct, and offers new insights into evolutionary and biogeographic patterns of the Cambrian explosion. This talk will provide an overview of the Marble Canyon biota, as well of ongoing work concerning its geographic extent, paleoenvironmental setting, and the development of the Cathedral Escarpment in the Kootenay area.

This talk is part of the Occasional Earth Science Seminars series.
