Aim To combing from the Burgess Shale-type fossil biotas in South China at the sight of horizon,biological composition and sedimentary environment.Methods Ten Burgess Shale-type soft-bodied fossil biotas in South China are investigated by comparing the geological settings,biological composition and their substrates.Results Except for the Yanjiahe biota,the other nine Cambrian Burgess Shale-type soft-bodied fossil biotas in South China represent a series of closely-related biological communities lived in muddy-sandy substrates which show gradually transitions in biological composition in time-space distributions.Conclusion The Burgess Shale-type fossil biota in South China should have a wider distribution during the Middle-Late Cambrian.
