Stewart's Cove (Devonian to of Canada)

Also known as Cape Bon Ami

Where: New Brunswick, Canada (48.1° N, 66.4° W: paleocoordinates 36.1° S, 16.9° W)

• coordinate based on nearby landmark

• local area-level geographic resolution

When: Dalhousie Formation, Helderbergian to Helderbergian (419.2 - 407.6 Ma)

• "Bed 11 of the Dalhousie formation's coastal section (Clarke, 1909)."

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: marine; calcareous shale

• "Environment: BA 2 if occurring only with abundant Cloudella or possibly BA 3 if with a more diverse community slightly lower in the sequence."

•SEP: environmental call here is impossible without additional information and I have not found a good source yet

• "Calcareous shale."

Size class: macrofossils

Collection methods: May be a subset of Collection number 593 (Dalhousie Shale), but that collection does not include Cloudella, which is said here to be locally abundant.
