The occurrence of the Ordovician brachiopod Foliomena at Percé, Quebec

A new species of brachiopod, Foliomena joliensis, has been found in the White Head Formation of Percé, Quebec. The genus has previously been reported only in Europe where it occurs in deep-water communities. As in Europe, the assemblage containing Foliomena is dominated by vagile animals, and the assemblage has only rare, very small sessile animals. Some associated brachiopods are described and illustrated.
