FIGURE 6 in Depth related brachiopod faunas from the lower Cambrian Forteau Formation of southern Labrador and western Newfoundland, Canada

FIGURE 6. Measured sections displaying samples collected from rocks of the upper heterolithic interval of the Upper limestone, Forteau Formation on Route 432 east of Ten Mile Lake (R432-5) and Big East River resource road northeast of Hawkes Bay (BER-5) (see Figure 4). Both sections host brachiopod assemblage 2. The succession at R432-5 comprises skeletal carbonate and shale overlain by calcareous siltstone and white quartz arenite. The incomplete succession at BER-5 is lithologically similar to the lower carbonate interval of R432-5 and may tentatively suggest they are distant correlatives of the same parasequence. The brachiopod fauna hosted by lithofacies of small-scale transgression are inherited from the restricted fauna associated with the long-term regressive phase of the Forteau shelf sedimentation.
