“To find a site where over half is brand-new is pretty unexpected – we felt that we had a pretty good handle on diversity at this time. Daley, a paleontologist at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, who wasn’t involved in the study. “The fossils are pristine and untouched by metamorphism or weathering, making them exceptionally good candidates for studying the fossilization processes that preserved the tissues in such extraordinary detail,” commented Allison C. Qingjiang biota has been noted for its “extreme abundance of fossil material” and “its beautifully preserved structure.” The Burgess Shale, an enormous deposit of fossil-bearing rocks in the Canadian Rockies, is renowned for its exquisite collection of soft-bodied organisms.Īn artist recreation of the Cambria Explosion.

So far, the research team, led by paleontologist Fu Dongjing of Northwest University in Xi’an, have analyzed 4,351 specimens from the new site, representing 101 different taxa or groups of organisms. The rare discovery was made on a bank of the Danshui River near the junction with Qingjiang River, 1,050 kilometers north of Chengjiang city. The roughly 518-million-year-old site, named Qiangjiang biota, was first uncovered in 2007 and is made up of stunningly preserved soft-bodied organisms, from jellyfish and comb jellies to arthropods and algae. A vast array of rare fossils have been discovered in Hubei province, according to a research paper published in Science on March 22.
