We are chuffed to announce that [The William F. Milton Fund](https://vpr.harvard.edu/milton-fund) will support our proposal for field-based research on a new early Cambrian fossil site with Burgess Shale-type preservation in northern British Columbia! The Invertebrate Paleobiology Lab at OEB and MCZ will lead an international team to venture into the Canadian wilderness in search of fossilized soft-bodied animals more than 500 million years old. The age and depositional environment of the new site make it unique among Burgess-Shale type localities around the world, so be prepared for some exciting discoveries!
