The Burgess Shale 29"x23"x1.5"
The Burgess shale was discovered in 1909. Its exquisitely detailed fossils are among the most important ever discovered in paleontology. In collections, the shale consists of hand-dressed gray-black slabs, each containing one or more fossils depicting the 'Cambrian explosion' of life. 'The Burgess Shale' represents a contemporary, subjective interpretation of the shale, intended for leisurely contemplation and thoughtful exploration of its components.
