Small shelly fauna from the upper Lower Cambrian Bastion and Ella Island Formations, North-East Greenland
A diverse and well-preserved fauna of shelly fossils from the upper Lower Cambrian Bastion and Ella Island Formations of North-East Greenland contains more than 90 species. The fauna is the most diverse shelly fauna yet discovered in the Lower Cambrian of Laurentia and includes many fossils previous...
