Ordovician Stratigraphy and Faunas of the Glenogle Formation, Southeastern British Columbia

📖 The Scoop

The Glenogle Formation of British Columbia consists mainly of shale sections, and its graptolite faunas have been known for over a century but their stratigraphic setting has been uncertain. Recently discovered sections that are less contorted than most well-known localities allow elucidation of the formation's stratigraphy and of its succession of graptolite faunas. This report describes these newly discovered stratigraphic sections, outlines the stratigraphy & depositional environments of the Glenogle, puts forward a biostratigraphic synthesis of the graptolite faunas, and relates this zonation to North American zonations provided by conodonts & shelly fossils and to other graptolite sequences throughout the world.
