Rock Formation

A new eurypterid fauna from the Lower Bear Rock Formation (Early Devonian, Emsian) of Anderson River, in the Northwest Territories of the Canadian Arctic, is described. The material comprises an almost complete specimen and five isolated carapaces of Erieopterus microphthalmus; an incomplete carapace and telson referred to Drepanopterus sp.; and an isolated prosomal appendage of Carcinosoma sp. Associations include actinopterygian, sarcopterygian, and acanthodian fish, as well as lingulids, conchostracans, ostracodes, coprolites, and plant material. A nearshore marine environment is inferred. This assemblage provides the first Canadian record of Drepanopterus and the youngest Canadian occurrences of erieopterid and carcinosomatid eurypterids.

It is only within comparatively recent years that the problem of conserving the game resources of the Northwest Territories has become a matter requiring the serious attention of those responsible for the administration of the Territories. The slow development of a crisis arose from the lack of co-ordinated knowledge and from the assumption that a sparse human population scattered over an immense area would not necessarily lead to any serious depletion in the numbers of wild animals. Fortunately investigation was begun and a measure of control effected in time; otherwise the story of the plains buffalo might have been repeated in the barren-ground caribou, as it was to a large degree in the musk ox, which are now reduced on the mainland to a few small herds within or close to the Thelon Game Sanctuary.

New radiocarbon dates from the University of Washington's Quaternary Isotope Laboratory are given for Cornwallis Island, Northwest Territories, Canada, and these and other radiocarbon dates for the area are assembled in a diagram, including the envelope of a tentative emergence curve. Most of the new dates are derived from surface collections but appear to represent a consistent altitude–age relationship confirming the pattern of previously published dates for the general region.The oldest of the new Holocene dates on marine shells indicate that the Resolute Bay area began emerging by at least 9700 years BP. The highest well developed marine strandlines recognized to date are at an altitude of ca. 105 m. However, the postglacial marine limit is probably some 10 m or more higher. As in adjacent regions, early postglacial emergence was initially rapid, of the order of an average 8.3 m/100 years for the first recorded 75 m, then slowed to an average 0.5 m/100 years for the last 40 m.

The trilobite genus Phacops is documented for the first time in northwestern or Arctic Canada from Emsian age beds of the Delorme Formation, western Mackenzie Mountains. Phacops natlenis n. sp. is described; it shows closest morphologic affinity to P. spedeni Chatterton from late Emsian age beds of southeastern Australia. Other Emsian trilobite genera from the Delorme Formation in the Sekwi Mountain map-area, Mackenzie Mountains include: Lacunoporaspis, Ceratarges?, Acanthopyge (Mephiarges), Leonaspis, and Koneprusia?.

Carpocrinus arcticus n. sp. is the first Silurian crinoid to be reported from Arctic Canada (Read Bay Formation, Somerset Island). The species is distinguished from other North American Carpocrinus by its nonlobate calyx, plates with impressed sutures, and granular plate ornamentation. It is a member of a largely European lineage not previously reported from North America. The typical North American lineage was considered a separate genus (Stiptocrinus) by Kirk: it is here considered synonymous with Carpocrinus. Review of the stratigraphic distribution of Carpocrinus occurrences indicates that the lineage including C. arcticus is characteristic of Late Wenlock-Ludlow rocks.
