Burgess Shale The Burgess Shale was first discovered in 1909 by a Paleontologist named Charles Walcott and is believed to be over 500 million years ago in Middle Cambrian. This geological formation was first found near a mountain by the name of Mount Burgess, for which it was named after, in Canada. Similar formations have been uncovered in China, Europe, USA and many other places around the world. The Burgess Shale is one of the most important of fossil type formations due to the fact that they

THE TAPHONOMY AND PHYLOGENETIC CLASSIFICATION OF THE BURGESS SHALE FAUNA. INTRODUCTION: The Burgess Shale Phyllopod bed was discovered in the early 1900’s. This discovery was monumental in the field of geology. The Lagerstatten and its immaculate fossil fauna introduced geologists to the lost world of a Middle Cambrian sea bed.

nothing you can do about it. Anthony Burgess created this world through his novel, A Clockwork Orange. Anthony Burgess was born in 1917 and died in 1963.

While the Burgess Shale is primarily known for the intricate

Imagine having stolen, raped, and even murdered all at the age of 15. The new canon of dark literature and controversy has finally hit the stage.
