Stratigraphy
| Local section: | Majesty | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: The terminal Windermer Formations make up four, kilometer-scale, shallowing-upward, carbonate capped Grand Cycles. The Gametrail, Sheepbed, Blueflower, and Risky Formations art thought to be equivalent to the the Redkino "Series" of Vendian Age on the Russian Platform. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Environment: | deep-water indet. |
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | trace |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Collection method comments: Float that could not be tied down definitely stratigraphically was not included in the study material. Ediacaran body fossils occur predominantly as raised features on the bottom of beds and very rarely as depressed features on soles. The Sekwi Brook fauna represent the first Ediacaran assemblage on a slope setting/ | |
| Taxonomic list comments:It appears that the listed faunas from the Mackenzie Mountains can be correlated with those of the Wernecke Mountains creating a single "Windermere fauna" | |
