Wow.
How cool is this!?
"The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and Parks Canada have launched their Burgess Shale on-line exhibition, as part of the Virtual Museum of Canada. The website provides, for the first time ever, an immersive journey into the world of the bizarre prehistoric creatures that formed the foundation for all animal life on Earth half a billion years ago."
Now, having only very recently become a fan of fossils, I hadn't even heard about this until I looked it up so I would have some background info for a talk PB and I are going to Friday. Nice. (: I gotta admit, this just made my "trips I'd like to go on" list. There are even guided hikes up there where you get to bust open a fossil yourself! Dude.
