Darwin's Dilemma

Here is the link to the website about the movie we watched in lab called "Darwin's Dilemma"

It talked about the Cambrian explosion, and the fossil record that was found in the Burgess Shale, that is in British Columbia, Canada. It was discovered in 1909 by Charles Walcott, and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1981.
And here is a website about the Burgess Shale http://www.burkemuseum.org/static/bshale/index.html

The video also had some interesting animations that depict what they think the animals looked like before they were fossilized. They look very strange to me, like something out of a really bad sci-fi movie.
