This is fantastic! Sounds like it may take a while before things get published and the veil of secrecy is raised.

This is really exciting news!meg%20dance.gif

I hope it's not too long before at least some details of the fossils are revealed! :popcorn:

And hopefully they will have organized hikes (like Dr. Caron implies in the article) before I'm too old to visit this new Cambrian treasure!fingers%20crossed.gif
