摘　　要：Our understanding of the Cambrian explosion has relied heavily on a few exceptional fossil deposits preserving soft-bodied animals,the so-called Burgess-Shale-type deposits,or BSTs for short.BSTs are named after the famous Canadian fossil deposit discovered byCharlesWalcott in 1909.Regardless of wherethey come from or their age,all BSTs preserve soft-bodied fossils as carbonaceous remains.The distribution of these sites[1]and the number of taxa recovered at each one vary greatly owing to local biostratinomic controls[2],differences in sampling efforts and community variations over temporal and stratigraphic scales[3,4].
