Book Description
Because of their generally great abundance and high diversity, brachiopods from the Red River and Stony Mountain formations of southern Manitoba are important to understanding the pattern, process, and rate of evolution, radiation, and extinction of the North American epicontinental marine shelly benthos during the Late Ordovician. This report presents a detailed taxonomic treatment of these brachiopods, coupled with an assessment of their implications for biostratigraphy, palaeoecology, and palaeobiogeography at continental and global scales.
