説明

<jats:title>A treasure trove of Cambrian secrets</jats:title> <jats:p> Animal life exploded in diversity and form during the Cambrian period about 500 million years ago. Fu <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> describe an early Cambrian fossil site in China that contains a variety of specimens, more than half of which are previously undescribed (see the Perspective by Daley). The site rivals previously described Cambrian sites, such as the Burgess Shale, and should help to elucidate biological innovation and diversification during this period. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6433" page="1338" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="363" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aau8800">1338</jats:related-article> ; see also p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6433" page="1284" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="363" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aaw8644">1284</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
