Re: paleonet Burgess Shale

[Matt Corbett <dilophosaurus@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's not exactly about the Burgess Shale, but it showcases some of the critters from that assemblage/timeframe.  The DVD is a continuation of the BBC "Walking with Dinosaurs" series and is called Walking with Monsters - Life Before Dinosaurs.   The first segment of the DVD showcases critters from the Cambrian Period, including Anomalocaris and a Pikaia like creature.  It also has some really cool parts with giant eurypterids, early fish, and the dinosaur ancestor Euparkeria.  The computer graphics are really nice as well.

I am looking for any DVDs or Videos on the Burgess Shale.  Unfortunately, the popular Planet of Life: Ancient Ocean VHS is difficult to come by these days.  The Shape of Life and Evolution Series both have short segments on the site but I am looking for something a little more comprehensive.  Any suggestions?
