<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 5690, member: 56&quot;]There are some fossils sites in the world where soft tissues were preserved.&nbsp; The Burgess shale in British Columbia is one of the best know.&nbsp; Other, similar deposits have been found in Iceland and China.&nbsp; The creatures trapped there apparently sank into an anaerobic patch of water - no oxygen, therefore no decomposition, and shale is very fine silt so remarkable detail was preserved.&nbsp; Some of those fossils look like little more than smudges.&nbsp; One was so weird in its reconstructed shape that they named it hallucigenia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
