Скачать или смотреть 50 years of Discovery: Burgess Shale Research at ROM

For 50 years, ROM has been at the forefront of Burgess Shale research, uncovering dozens of new fossil sites and species. Celebrate this milestone with the stories of ROM’s researchers and partners. Hosted by Ivan Semeniuk, National Science Reporter for The Globe and Mail, this afternoon talk examines the significant role of the Museum’s Burgess Shale research program in furthering our global understanding of the past, present, and future of life on Earth.


Located in the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks of British Columbia, the Burgess Shale fossils are exceptionally preserved and provide one of the best records of marine life during the Cambrian period anywhere. Home to the world’s largest Burgess Shale collection, ROM shares these extraordinary fossils through global research, an award-winning online resource, and its newest permanent gallery, the Willner Madge Gallery, Dawn of Life.
