This book record one of the most amazing finds in the 20th century the find of the Chengjiang fauna in true and detail. It has more than 200 kinds firs hand precious pictures of fossil, and provides their Chinese names, Latin names, Locality. It reappears the wonderful spectacles about the life of marine animals and the original characteristics of the existing living beings on the earth from 530 million years ago. It provides precious materials for enriching the theory of evolution. The Cambrian represents the beginning of a long sequence of geological time known collectively as the Phanerozoic. This term is composed of the Greek words planners, meaning visible, obvious, and Zion, animal. This was to stress the difference from the older, once seemingly unfossiliferous Precambrian rocks, the Cryptozoic. Although both microfossils and macrofossils are now known from Precambrian rocks, particularly from late Precambrian, there is the striking difference in numbers and types of fossils with those in the Phanerozoic. However, the situation varies in detail. In some areas Cambrian rocks may contain many fossils, whereas in others there are sandstone's or other rocks that are commonly poorly fossiliferous. In addition, different fossils occur in the Cambian in different parts of the world, which makes it difficult when making comparisons to know if we are talking about strata of exactly the same age.

The Chengjiang biota is one of the most remarkable fossil discoveries ever made. Among the hills and lakes of Yunnan Province, South China, deposits of ancient mudstone, 525 million years old, have yielded a spectacular variety of exquisitely preserved fossils that record the early diversification of animal life. 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 rare beauty; they are also of outstanding scientific importance as sources of evidence about the origins of the animal groups that have sustained global biodiversity to the present day. Much of the scientific documentation of the Chengjiang biota is in Chinese, and this is the first book in English to provide fossil enthusiasts with an overview of the fauna. The aim is to introduce professional and amateur paleontologists, and all those fascinated by evolutionary biology, to the aesthetic and scientific quality of the Chengjiang fossils. Malden, MA.
