An Early Devonian fossil assemblage in the Clam Bank Formation (western Newfoundland): implications for Lochkovian paleogeography, paleoceanography, and biogeography in the Canadian Appalachian orogen

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, Ahead of Print.The Clam Bank Formation records renewed middle Paleozoic, post-Salinic, foreland-basin sedimentation in the northern Canadian Appalachian orogen, but its age has been poorly constrained. The echinoderm lobolith Camarocrinus formed the basis of a long-standing late Silurian (Přídolí) age even though the macrofossil assemblage has received little attention. Previous age assessments, including an early Lochkovian interpretation b
