Upper Cambrian and Lower Ordovician trilobite biostratigraphy of the Rabbitkettle Formation, Western District of Mackenzie

Two measured sections of the upper Rabbitkettle Formation in the western District of Mackenzie are separated by a thrust fault. These sections provide a record of silicified trilobite faunas across the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary in open marine carbonate rocks along the deeper portion of the shelf-a North American palaeogeographic setting not previously extensively sampled for macrofossils.
