Thanks, Always enjoy these reports. Curious, are the bivalves and brachiopods found together or mostly in separate rocks?. It's interesting how brachs and bivalves were in a struggle at this time for dominance.

Unrelated aside....lots of Ukrainians in Alberta, including my girlfriend. On Sunday she makes perogies for dinner.

Nice! What stuffing was in perogies?
