Fauna of the lower Beauharnois Formation (Beekmantown Group, Lower Ordovician), Grande-Île, Quebec
Lenses of bioclastic packstone and grainstone within the lower dolomite sequence of the Ogdensburg Member, Beauharnois Formation (Beekmantown Group, Lower Ordovician), in the Valleyfield region, Quebec, bear a distinct diverse faunal assemblage. This Isoteloides–Goniotelina–Ribeiria assemblage is ch...
