The Chengjiang biota is one of the most remarkable fossil discoveries ever made. Since the discovery of the first specimens in 1984, many thousands of fossils have been collected, exceptionally preserving not just the shells and carapaces of the animals, but also their soft tissues in fine detail. This special preservation has produced fossils of outstanding scientific importance as sources of evidence about the origins of the animal groups that have sustained global biodiversity to the present day. The aim of this book is to introduce professional and amateur palaeontologists, and all those fascinated by evolutionary biology, to the aesthetic and scientific quality of the Chengjiang fossils.
