• Member description taken from 2007 Long. Tempestite frequency curves: a key to Late Ordovician and Early Silurian subsidence, sea-level change, and orbital forcing in the Anticosti foreland basin, Quebec, Canada. Can. J. Earth Sci. Vol. 44, 413-431. "The Jupiter Formation consists of 164 to 168 m of calcareous mudstone, micrite, grainstone, and minor intraformational conglomerate. Copper and Long (1990) divided the formation into six formal members, named the Goéland, East Point, Richardson, Cybèle, Ferrum, and Pavillon members."
