Summary
| Description |
English: This is a true-colour image of the area in British Columbia’s Yoho National Park in which the Burgess Shale Formation is cropping out. This formation is renowned for its abundance of well-preserved Cambrian fossils. The formation is part of the bedrock of a landscape of naked ridges, forested slopes, meandering rivers, and jewel-toned lakes. The Sun is shining from the south-east, and the rugged mountains of the park cast shadows to the north-west. The fossil sites are located approximately in the center of the image on the mountains that are flanking the valley of the Kicking Horse River Image created using Landsat data provided by the United States Geological Survey. Instrument: Landsat 7 - ETM+. |
