If I recall, it is Upper Silurian, with some Salina Fm spots that is represented by a thin band that extends up to Goderich where the salts are commercially mined by Sifton. As much of the Telephone City is pretty flat, you might not find any exposures/outcrops. You can try the Grand River, but I don't think it cuts deep enough. The units in this band are not generally known to be all that fossiliferous, but the representative formations are Bass Islands, Bertie, Salina, and the Kenogami River contact point with the lower Devonian. Seeing Bertie Fm in the list might make one hopeful of finding eurypterids, but I have never heard of anyone finding any eurypterids in Brantford given that it is dominated by the Salina. If you can manage to go a bit more south, Hagersville is lower Devonian Bois Blanc material. 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
