Why? Prior to this find the big Cambrian fossil sites I was aware of are the Aldan River, Burgess Shale, House Range, Utah, Marble Mountains, and White-Inyo Mountains finds. Of these 5 sites the Burgess shale appears to be the one with both the most diverse complex species and covers the longest timescale at about 25 million years. Are there other know Cambrian fossil sites you consider better than the Burgess Shale?
