迷斯塔肯角

这处化石遗址位于加拿大东部纽芬兰岛的东南尽头,是一处长达17公里的狭长地带,有崎岖的沿海峭壁地貌。这片世界上已知最古老的大型化石群可追溯至震旦纪(5亿6千万-5亿8千万年前),勾画出地球生命演化史中一个极端重要的转折:微生物主导进化30亿年后,更大、更复杂的生命体开始出现。

This fossil site is located at the south-eastern tip of the island of Newfoundland, in eastern Canada. It consists of a narrow, 17 km-long strip of rugged coastal cliffs. Of deep marine origin, these cliffs date to the Edicarean Period (580-560 million years ago), representing the oldest known assemblages of large fossils anywhere. These fossils illustrate a watershed in the history of life on earth: the appearance of large, biologically complex organisms, after almost three billion years of micro-dominated evolution.
