New Approaches to Understanding the Mechanics of Burgess Shale-Type Deposits: From the Micron Scale to the Global Picture
2005
The Sedimentary Record
Cambrian Burgess Shale-type (BST) deposits are among the most significant deposits for understanding the "Cambrian explosion" because they contain the fossilized tissues of nonmineralized organisms and provide a substantially different window on the radiation of the Metazoa than is afforded by the more "typical" fossil record of skeletal parts of biomineralized organisms. Despite nearly a century of research, BST deposits remain poorly investigated as sedimentologic entities largely because
