• coordinate stated in text

• small collection-level geographic resolution

When: Easton Member (Vaureal Formation), Katian (453.0 - 445.2 Ma)

• Collection A582D of Dewing 1999. Same collection names are used by Jin 1989, Jin and Zhan 2008, and Li and Copper 2006.

•The collection is noted by Dewing to be from the Easton Mbr. Note that the name Easton is not used in other Anticosti references, but Dewing locates it between the Tower and Lavache mbrs. Although there are no formal descriptions of the Easton Mbr., it is stratigraphically similar to the Tower Mbr.
