A new exhibit at the Tyrrel museum (100 km East of Calgary) in Alberta has unbelievable Burgess display. Lots of models, dialogue, info, dozens of Burgess fossils on display, etc. Every fossil nut should visit this museum. While in the area, you can find your own dino fossils. Also, new Burgess display at Yoho National Park (150km West of Calgary) will thrill the Burgess Shale fanatic. Located at base of mountains that hold the actual fossils. Tours available to Burgess Shale site and Mt. Stephen Trilobite Beds.

: I just saw a great animation of the primordial vertebrated Pikaian. I recommend it to the Cambrian buffs.

: The animation is in a website from Japan. The website is at:
