The Burgess Shale represents the first forms of diversity of life. Fossils from this quarry indicate that long before we knew of dinosaurs or any other ancient forms of life, that there were many animals waaay ahead of us. A Tour Through the Cambrian time period would display many unimaginable creatures that actually once existed and now are long gone. Today the Burgess Shale is still visited and excavated by many scientists and those lovers of biology interested in the early inhabitants of the earth.
