Huayuan Biota: a stunning new Burgess Shale-type fauna, with bonus surprises

There seems to be an endless stream of exciting new papers recently, and especially of new fossil deposits. This one is just amazing, though... The Huayuan Biota (Hunan, China) is in the top tier of Burgess-type faunas, based on preservation and diversity. Beautifully detailed fossils, 16 phyla (so far), and lots of fascinating new creatures. The real surprise, though... is that some of them seem to have taken a holiday from North America. The paper isn't open access, but here is the page: https://www.nature.com/articles/s4158... However, this sharing link to view online should work for at least a little while!: https://www.nature.com/articles/s4158...
