I found this specimen in Laval, on the South shore, West side. There was a fall there, next to the river there is a mixture of different layers. The time should be after Ordovician or late Ordovician. The rock is black, on very thin flat layers. Some layers are very hard / silicates/ other are fragile, mud - coal . Initially I expected it to be nautiloid. But when I did the pictures I rejected it. 1. Both parts 2. 3. 4. Side view - both parts 5. Cleaned (lower part) 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Anyone have any information on tectonic activity during the Cambrian Period? I am writing a report on tectonic activity on Earth and am going to use the Cambrian to explain the location of the Burgess Shale and Chengjiang formations. So far I have a good idea of what I am doing, just wanted some input from others. I'll reference anyone that responds. Thanks.
