?Family Siboglinidae Caullery, 1914 (?vestimentiferan) ‘Prince Patrick tubes’ (Fig. 11C, F, G) 1992 serpulid worm tubes Beauchamp & Savard: 438, figs 2a, 5a, 8c, d. Material. NRC C-453952 1-4, Prince Patrick Island, many small tubes cemented together in a large bundle. NRC C-453961 PPL, C-453989 PPL, tubes observed in thin section. Provided by S. E. Grasby. Occurrence. Prince Patrick Island seep carbonates, Arctic, Canada. Christopher Formation, Lower Albian, Cretaceous (Beauchamp et al. 1989; Beauchamp & Savard 1992). Description. Carbonate tubes mostly 1.0 mm in diameter, but tubes of up to 5 mm also occur in these clumps (Fig. 11C). Tubes are unattached, non-branching and non-agglutinated. Ornamentation of the tube walls is largely obscured due to surface mineralization. In thin section, the tube walls are very similar to those of the large tubes from the same deposit: they are mostly thick and comprise many superimposed layers (Fig. 11F), but some are thinwalled (Fig. 11G).
