LLQ3-7a, L’Anse Au Loup quarry, Upper Limestone Member (Cambrian of Canada)
Where: Labrador, Canada (51.5° N, 56.8° W: paleocoordinates 39.3° S, 71.0° W)
When: Upper Limestone Member (Forteau Formation), Dyeran (515.3 - 511.2 Ma)
Environment/lithology: grainstone and mudstone
• The incomplete Upper limestone in southern Labrador is host to a basal bios-trome complex of archeocyathids, skeletal grainstone, bedded mudstone, and dolostone. (James and Kobluk, 1987; Hughes, 1979).Upward, the complex interbeds with or is locally sharply overlain by oolitic limestone; microbial boundstone also occurs.
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
