The Burgess Shale is found in an area of the Canadian Rocky Mountains creatively called the Burgess Pass. This is in BC's Yoho National Park. The Burgess shale represents one of the most diverse and well-preserved fossil specimens in the world. These fossils have been dated back to the Cambrian Period, where life was restricted to the world oceans. Charles D. Walcott discovered the Burgess Shale in 1909. Since then, over 60,000 unique fossils have been found.
