Abstract
An Early Permian Fauna from Vancouver Island, British Columbia
ABSTRACT
An Early Permian formation of the Buttle Lake area in central Vancouver Island, consists of 800 to 1000 feet of limestone, with minor chert, dolomite and sandstone. It contains a fauna of brachiopods, bryozoans, foraminifers, pelecypods, corals, gastropods and ostracods accompanied by abundant crinoidal debris. Distinctive brachiopods of the fauna include special of Kochiproductus, Echinoconchus, Horridonia, Antiquitonia, Neospirifer?, Laevicamera, and Spiriferella. Faunal relationships with the Coyote Butte Formation of central Oregon, the Black Mountain Formation of northwestern Washington, part of the Cache Creek Group of central British Columbia and certain Alaskan Permian deposits are indicated. The brachiopods also relate this fauna to a Permian boreal realm encompassing the Yukon, Arctic regions, and parts of Russia.
