It spreads to even the west side of KunMing city. I did several collections at ChengJiang, even with Ms Zhou.<br />I strongly recommend the book "The Dawn of Animal World" (in Chinese) by Chen JunYuan. To those who can not read Chinese, the color photos are excellent.DinoDragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01136679346113530963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517176012861550589.post-64381189802013915872010-10-14T11:42:21.581+11:002010-10-14T11:42:21.581+11:00Stunning article, Chris.

If so, I'm guessing they may not be so nice as you and hand fossils over to the Uni.<br /><br />Rolfginckgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778471269683753831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517176012861550589.post-48747126434966244072010-10-12T18:19:16.390+11:002010-10-12T18:19:16.390+11:00The fossils are orange/brown and stand out well en...The fossils are orange/brown and stand out well enough (Google Chengjiang fauna images to see). The problem is that, as they are entombed by turbidity currents, they do not lie nicely along the bedding, but are inside the beds. This means that when you crack the rock, it splits randomly, usually uncovering only a portion of the fossil. The rest has to be prepared out in the lab to expose the whole fossil.Chris Nedinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978886926715669724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517176012861550589.post-57580459184097172332010-10-12T01:13:41.814+11:002010-10-12T01:13:41.814+11:00So can the Chengjiang fossils be readily distingui...So can the Chengjiang fossils be readily distinguished in the field, or are you collecting promising-looking samples and preparing them in the lab?Christopher Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075565866351612441noreply@blogger.com
