  • The Maotianshan Shales area a series of Lower Cambrian deposits, famous for their Konservat Lagerstätten, or high number of fossils. They take their name from Maotianshan Hill in Chengjiang County, Yunnan Province, China. The most famous assemblage of organisms are referred to as the Chengjiang biota for the multiple scattered fossil sites in Chengjiang. The Chengjiang fauna occur in outcrops of the Qiongzhusi Formation that date to between 525 and 520 Ma - a period situated in the middle of the early Cambrian epoch and at least some 10 million years older than the Burgess Shale. The shales also contains the slightly younger Guanshan biota. The Maotianshan shale is one of some forty Cambrian fossil locations worldwide exhibiting exquisite preservation of rarely preserved, non-mineralized soft tissue, comparable to the fossils of the Burgess Shale.
