The Burgess Shale of the Canadian Rocky Mts is one of the most well-known occurrences of Cambrian strata exhibiting exceptional preservation of a soft-bodied fauna. While Lagerstätten of the Burgess Shale-type fauna have been recognized in almost all parts of the world and in all Cambrian series, the circumstances and mechanisms allowing for such a unique mode of preservation have remained enigmatic. Of particular debate has been the reconstruction of prevailing redox conditions. This brief contribution overviews the fauna and recent advances towards understanding the sedimentary and taphonomic conditions prevailing during deposition.

Cambrian chaetognaths recognized in Burgess Shale fossils

Oesia disjuncta, one of the species of the soft−bodied fauna collected and described by Walcott (1911) from the Middle Cambrian Phyllopod Bed (Burgess Shale, British Columbia, Canada) is recognized as a chaetognath. For anatomical comparisons many specimens of Recent chaetognaths were specially compressed and dried to obtain forms similar to the fossils preserved in shales. The most characteristic features shared by the fossil and Recent specimens include: strongly elongated, transversely striated and very flexible body, large size, and characteristically diversified shape of head, pronounced intestine and horizontally oriented caudal fin. Possible traces of other chaetognath structures—grasping apparatus, lateral fins, seminal vesicles, ventral ganglion, ovaries and anus—are also present but preserved in one specimen only. Among extant genera, those showing the closest similarity to Oesia Walcott, 1911 are the hyperbenthic Archeterokrohnia Casanova, 1986¹, and Heterokrohnia Ritter−Záhony, 1911, which are considered by some authors as evolutionarily most primitive.

More than forty specimens from the middle Cambrian Burgess Shale reveal the detailed anatomy of Isoxys, a worldwide distributed bivalved arthropod represented here by two species, namely Isoxys acutangulus and Isoxys longissimus. I. acutangulus had a non−mineralized headshield with lateral pleural folds (= “valves” of previous authors) that covered the animal’s body almost entirely, large frontal spherical eyes and a pair of uniramous prehensile appendages bearing stout spiny outgrowths along their anterior margins. The 13 following appendages had a uniform biramous design—i.e., a short endopod and a paddle−like exopod fringed with marginal setae with a probable natatory function. The trunk ended with a flap−like telson that protruded beyond the posterior margin of the headshield. The gut of I. acutangulus was tube−like, running from mouth to telson, and was flanked with numerous 3D−preserved bulbous, paired features interpreted as digestive glands. The appendage design of I. acutangulus indicates that the animal was a swimmer and a visual predator living off−bottom. The general anatomy of Isoxys longissimus was similar to that of I. acutangulus although less information is available on the exact shape of its appendages and visual organs. I. longissimus is characterized by extremely long anterior and posterior spines. There are now seven Isoxys species known with soft−part preservation, I. acutangulus, I. longissimus from the Burgess Shale, I. auritus and I. curvirostratus from the Maotianshan Shale of China, I. communis and I. glaessneri from the Emu Bay Shale of Australia and I. volucrisfrom Sirius Passet in Greenland. The frontal appendages of Isoxys strongly resemble those of other Cambrian arthropods, characterized by a single pair of “great appendages” with a shared prehensile function yet some variability in length and shape.
