Folks, This is a reminder that we have an excellent talk scheduled for noon today (Thursday) by Jesse Chadwick. The talk is on the Burgess Shale, arguably, the most famous rock outcrop among geologists and the subject of numerous books and papers. Stephen J. Gould wrote a book on this outcrop called "A Wonderful Life" about the explosion of complex life during the Cambrian Period.
Hope to see you there.

On very rare occasions, we have had to cancel or move the talk. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Abstract: The fossil deposits of the Burgess Shale, British Columbia provide an unparalleled record of soft-bodied organisms during one of life's earliest episodes - the Cambrian explosion. The Burgess has been studied since the early 20th century, perplexing paleontologists and evolutionary biologists alike with its extraordinary fossils. In 2014 and 2016, Miss Chadwick joined the Royal Ontario Museum and its collaborators to excavate fossils from the newly discovered Marble Canyon site in Kootenay National Park. She will discuss some of the new organisms described by researchers from this site, as well as expedition life in the Canadian Rockies. Biography: Jesse Chadwick studied metamorphic petrology at Princeton University and Montana State University. Her masters thesis focused on mapping and quantitative thermobarometry of mid- to high grade Archean metamorphic lithologies in southwestern Montana. She is an avid explorer of the south Texas subsurface and its associated biological systems. She currently coordinates the Alamo Area Clean Cities Coalition, an alternative fuels program at the Alamo Area Council of Governments.
