Wheeler Shale

The Wheeler Shale is a Cambrian fossil locality world-famous
for prolific agnostid and Elrathia kingii trilobite remains
and represents a Konzentrat-Lagerstätte. Varied soft bodied organisms are locally preserved, a fauna and preservation style normally associated with the more famous Burgess Shale. As such, the Wheeler Shale also represents a Konservat-Lagerstätten. Together with the Marjum Formation and lower Weeks Formation, the Wheeler Shale forms 490 to 610 m of limestone and shale exposed
