Lab 2 - Instructions
Do you think the Burgess Shale specimens illustrated in Lesson 6 of the course notes represent a reasonable
approximation of the actual relative abundance of species found in the Burgess Shale? Do they represent the
actual relative abundance of lifestyles? Foodweb niches? You will address these questions in three steps.
1. Have a general look around the amazing website created by the Royal Ontario Museum at
https://burgess-shale.rom.on.ca/introduction/ (https://burgess-shale.rom.on.ca/introduction/) .
Figure out how the website works in general and what it has to offer as far as fleshing out the Burgess
Shale fossil deposit.
2. Step 2: In the tables in the PDF below, first record key characteristics for each specimen onto a copy
of Table 1 using information from the Burgess Shale website at https://burgess-
shale.rom.on.ca/fossil-gallery/main-gallery/ (https://burgess-shale.rom.on.ca/fossil-gallery/main-
gallery/) .
>> AT THE SAME TIME, using that database, find the real samples shown in Table 2 and add the
species name and other information to complete Table 2.
3. Step 3: Then use your results to address the questions presented below (in the PDF file) about
abundance, living habit and food web niche by referring to the data in your tables.
Be sure to read instructions carefully. And - have fun. These are amazing creatures and the Burgess Shale
fossils tell a unique and fantastic "story"!

generate an age-range diagram showing the time spans during which
each of the 10 organisms lived?
Correct! No for all
Yes for all
Yes for some, no for others
Question 2 pts
From your completed copy of Table 1, the fossil that is the largest
OTHER than Anomalocaris is Hazelia , the smallest is Hallucigenia , the
rarest arthropod (based on number of specimens) is Sanctacaris , and
the one fossil that is a mold rather than fossilized body parts or remains
is Ogygopsis . The one that may have eaten Ogygopsis is
Anomalocaris , and the first one to come up in the list of answers that is
