Where: Manitoba, Canada (51.6° N, 96.8° W: paleocoordinates 11.7° S, 59.2° W)
• coordinate estimated from map
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Dog Head Member (Red River Formation), Edenian (451.0 - 450.2 Ma)
• member-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: deep subtidal; bioturbated, dolomitic, argillaceous, calcareous mudstone
•in corals from the Dog Head and Cat Head members (Elias 1991). This indicates that the carbonate sediments of these two members may have accumulated in relatively deep waters during the early stages of the Tippecanoe transgression, when the rate of sediment accumulation lagged behind the rate of sea-level rise.
Size class: macrofossils
Reposited in the GSC
