DESCRIPTION:The SAURON survey of 72 local early type galaxies (ETGs) revea
 led an unexpected dichotomy of properties that depend on their specific an
 gular momentum. Intrinsic shape\, the nature of decoupled cores\, age\, ma
 ss-to-light ratio and ionised gas properties were all found to be signific
 antly different for the ETGs with low specific angular momentum. I will su
 mmarise the SAURON survey and present the first results a complete\, volum
 e limited survey of 260 ETGs which give us a representative view of the Un
 iverse and lead to a re-evaluation of Hubble's tuning fork diagram and the
  physical processes that shape galaxies.\n
