Significance

Isn't the significance of this discovery in it's being the latest faunal assemblage of its type? This didn't seem stressed and might be missed by the reader.--Wetman (talk) 03:56, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At first blush I agree, but the authors of the article don't really stress this point; as I understand it, lagerstatte such as the Soom Shale, Hunsruck and Eramosa as well as smaller Ordovician lagerstatte from unusual environments could be considered BS-type lagerstatten? At least, they are lagerstatten with soft-tissue preservation. Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 14:45, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The paper, which I have before me, stresses that "The new discoveries... indicate that the Burgess Shale-type fauna continued to have an important role... well after the Middle Cambrian, and prompt a re-assessment of the structure of post-Cambrian Palaeozoic communities". (p217). Similarly, in the abstract: "It is clear that the biotas of Burgess Shale type persisted after the Cambrian and are preserved where suitable facies appear". And so, by implication, the former idea that these communities went extinct during the later Cambrian is conclusively refuted. As a matter of fact, re Wetman, I think this may be the latest known appearance of the Burgess Shale biota. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:47, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
