Burgess Shale Discovery

Nature NuggetStory★★★★

Okay, I’ve heard, okay, I couldn’t quite place it. Massive, massive discovery of all these different animals in different layers of rock and guess what after this massive discovery there’s still no links. A trilobite through the layers is still a trilobite you know it just kind of keeps on going and going.

Ayer, Jim; Nelson, Janice, “Evolution The Evidence” (AudioVerse teaching 30976).
