The Field Museum footage after one of the links is part of a full-wall display in a room dedicated to Cambrian life as part of an exhibit called "Evolving Planet". It's very soothing to just stand there and watch the sea bugs skitter around.
@4: Next time you're in the Windy City, definitely do so.
I have trouble with the exhibit, though, because there's a room full of fossils from the Fossil Lake deposit, where a paleontology camp I went to excavates. I always end up standing around in the exhibit for half an hour, obsessively telling passersby all about Knightia, Diplomystus, Phareodus, Mioplosus, Priscacara, and the terrifying Lepisosteus.
Well, except they're a bit heavy.
And their jetpacks kind of singe when they land on you.
