"Tucked into the Canadian Rockies, 8000 feet above sea level, is a small limestone quarry formed 530 million years ago called the Burgess Shale; less that a city block long and only ten feet high, the Burgess Shale holds the remains of an ancient sea that nurtured more varieties of life than can be found in all of our modern oceans. Here lived dozens of creatures never seen before or since--creatures perfectly preserved in awesome detail, including the five-eyed "Opabinia' and "Anomalocaris' whose mouth was a circular nutcracker."
