...Stephen W.F. Grant Abstract Lithology and diagenesis are important components in δ 13 C carb stratigraphic variation in Lower Cambrian Forteau Formation limestones. The δ 13 C values of ooids indicate that shallow seawater ΣCO 2 was -1.0‰ to 0.0‰. Salterella and archaeocyathans probably exerted...

...Noel P. James; Françoise Debrenne Abstract Archaeocyaths of the class Regulares have been discovered in the Devils Cove Member of the Forteau Formation in eastern and southern parts of western Newfoundland. The three species recovered are the first Regulares reported from the northern Appalachians...

...David R. Kobluk Abstract In the Lower Cambrian Forteau Formation (middle Bonnia – Olenellus zone) of southern Labrador, cavities in archaeocyath patch reefs contain preserved coelobiontic endolithic sponges. Scallops and carbonate chips produced by sponge boring, spicules, and preserved endolithic...

... of the overlying Forteau Formation. The L’Anse-au-Clair Member consists of sands that filled laterally migrating tidal inlets of a barrier coastline. However, the upper parts of the barriers were removed by shoreface erosion during marine transgression. The Bradore Formation and its equivalents around the North...

... . Helcionelloid mollusks are diverse, but not common; they are associated with numerous specimens of the bivalve Pojetaia runnegari . The fauna compares best with that of the upper Bastion Formation of North-East Greenland, the Forteau Formation of western Newfoundland, and the Browns Pond Formation of New York...

... in archaeocyathid patch reefs, thus extending the record of the coelobiontic community even further.The Poleta Formation coelobiontic community is less diverse than that found in the upper Lower Cambrian community (from cavities in archaeocyathid patch reefs of the Forteau Formation of Labrador); it is dominated...

...David R. Kobluk Abstract Labyrinthus soraufi Kobluk 1979, previously known only from the upper Lower Cambrian Forteau Formation of southern Labrador, has been found within upper Lower Cambrian to lower Middle Cambrian Epiphyton mounds from the upper part of the Shady Dolomite in southwestern...

... the Lower Cambrian of Nevada and Labrador, where the cavity communities are dominated by algae; foraminifera, brachiopods, pelmatazoans, sponges, archaeocyathids, Bija , Archaeotrypa , and an infauna of burrowers in cavity sediments are accessories in upper Lower Cambrian cavities from the Forteau Formation...

...Allison R. Palmer; Alexei Yu. Rozanov Abstract Archaeocyathids from the lower few metres of the Leithsville Formation in New Jersey correlate with faunas of the Forteau Formation of early Bonnia-Olenellus zone age [ Lenian (=Botomian) or early Elankian ] in Labrador and Newfoundland. The absence...

...John S. Peel Abstract Yochelcionella americana Runnegar and Pojeta, 1980, is described from the Forteau Formation (upper Lower Cambrian) of western Newfoundland. This is only the second occurrence of this distinctive species, originally described from Pennsylvania, and the first certain record...

...David R. Kobluk Abstract An unusual carbonate skeletal organism is found in abundance in the upper of two archaeocyathid-rich horizons in the Lower Cambrian Forteau Formation of southern Labrador. The commonly cryptic organism consists of splaying and branching irregularly polygonal tubes which...
