Biostratigraphy and depositional environment of the Escalante and Hesquiat formations (Early Tertiary) of the Nootka Sound area, Vancouver Island, British Columbia

Thirty-one species of eutardigrades were collected on five mountains on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, during July 1986 and July 1987. Three of the species found were new to science, including 1 species, Platicrista cheleusis n.sp., described herein and 2 species described elsewhere, and 21 others are new to British Columbia; 13 of these are also new to Canada.

New Localities

New localities of shackanite and related analcite-bearing lavas have been discovered in a broad field of early Tertiary phonolite and mafic phonolite in south-central British Columbia. The development of primary and secondary analcite in these rocks is probably the result of cooling lava during and shortly after extrusion.The possibility of leucite to analcite transformation in Daly's shackanite is unlikely because of lack of petrographic evidence and a preponderance of Na2O over K2O in bulk rock composition. It is also unlikely that analcite, and particularly groundmass analcite, crystallized at great depth and was transported to surface during eruption.
