Yale University Press, New Haven, 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. In 1909, a discovery was made in southwestern Canada that turned out to be the richest fossil record yet found from the Cambrian Era.

Trapped in this formation were hundreds of well-preserved invertebrates that had lived from 500 million to over 600 million years ago. This book contains essays by well known specialists in the archaeological geology field.
