Micro-CT study of Middle Ordovician Spumellaria (radiolarians) from western Newfoundland, Canada
Abstract A new, previously undescribed Middle Ordovician (middle Darriwilian: Dw2) radiolarian assemblage has been recovered from the Table Cove Formation at Piccadilly Quarry, western Newfoundland. Constituents of the fauna described herein are both distinctive and exceptionally well preserved. Thr...
