Harry Blackmore Whittington
FRS
(24 March 1916 – 20 June 2010) was a
British
palaeontologist
who made a major contribution to the study of
fossils of the Burgess Shale
and other
Cambrian fauna
. His works are largely responsible for the concept of
Cambrian explosion
, whereby modern animal body plans are explained to originate during a short span of
geological period
. With initial work on
trilobites
, his discoveries revealed that these
arthropods
were the most diversified of all
invertebrates
during
Cambrian Period
. He was responsible for setting the standard for
naming
and describing the delicate fossils preserved in
Konservat-Lagerstätten
.
