First regular archaeocyaths from the northern Appalachians, Forteau Formation, western Newfoundland
Archaeocyaths of the class Regulares have been discovered in the Devils Cove Member of the Forteau Formation in eastern and southern parts of western Newfoundland. The three species recovered are the first Regulares reported from the northern Appalachians, all archaeocyaths from the bioherms and bio...
