MarcusFossils Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi everyone, I've been trying to find a list or a guide to the fossils present in the Lorraine Formation (Southeast Quebec, Canada), and so far, i've come up with nothing of any great use. Does anyone know a free website or a book that might help me?

piranha Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 These two monographs have a wealth of information on the Lorraine Formation. Foerste, A.F. (1916) Upper Ordovician formations in Ontario and Quebec. Geological Survey of Canada, Memoir, 83:1-279 Foerste, A.F. (1924) Upper Ordovician faunas of Ontario and Quebec. Geological Survey of Canada, Memoir, 138:1-255 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Here is a link to a site with photos of identified fossils from the Hanson Brick Pit in La Prairie, QE. The site is in the Nicolette Formation, part of the Lorraine Group in the St. Lawrence lowlands. I did notice 1 or 2 obvious misidentifications but the great majority seem OK. Unfortunately the GSC publications piranha mentioned are long out of print. You will likely find them in the library at McGill or Laval. You may also have to update some of the names, as they are going on 100 years old and taxonomy seems to be a moving target. If you post photos here, you'll get lots of "suggestions"; then it will be up to you to double check. Still, we'd love to see what you're finding.

piranha Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 As Don mentioned, the Foerste monographs are available at just about every Canadian library I can see on WorldCat. Foerste 1916 is available online: LINK Foerste 1924 is available online: LINK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
