The Burgess Shale is a archaeological site discovered by Charles Walcott in 1909. It is signifiant because of its ability of the fossils to preserve soft tissue. It was found in British Columbia in the Canadian Rockies and is easily the most celebrated of all archaeological fossil sites. The Burgess Shale brought evidence of an organism explosion known as the Cambrian Explosion. The Cambrian Explosion was a rapid increase and appearance of different types of organisms. This played such a big role because the Cambrian Explosion serves as a main supporter for Darwin and his theory of evolution.
