I think this is a bait and switch article. It starts off by telling you about the Burgess shale then transitions into explaining why we are going extinct too. I didn't learn anything new from reading it though. Anyway there are pictures. Of trilobites. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/12/06/ghosts-future/?arc404=true

Meteor Impact Possible Special Harbinger Of Ice Age Mammals' Demise?
DD1991 posted a topic in Fossil News
A groundbreaking article that could provide a fresh new explanation for the extinction of the Ice Age megafauna...... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/09/03/canadian_comet_impact_fingered_for_triggering_younger_dryas_climate_shift/ With debate still ongoing over why the Ice Age mammals went extinct, the possible discovery of the remnants of an extraterrestrial object in Canada dating back 13,000 years ago may bolster the opinions of scientists who believe that the cavemen weren't totally responsible for the extinction of the imperial mammoths, the ground sloths, and the saber-toothed cats. -
Last year researchers published a paper suggesting that sauropod dinosaurs would have made a contribution to climate change in the Mesozoic by producing as much as 520 million tons of methane gas. However, little research has been done into the fossil sites where accumulations of coprolites are associated with sauropods proving that sauropods produced enough methane gas to warm the earth. Are there any fossil sites around the world where sauropod remains have been found in association with multiple coprolites? If so, then we might hypothesize that the biggest flatulence by sauropod dinosaurs m
