East And West

The geographic occurrences of archaeocyathids are plotted for the Cordilleran region of western Canada. The archaeocyathids are found both east and west of, and within the Rocky Mountain Trench in British Columbia and are found east and west of the Tintina Trench in the southern Yukon. The overall pattern of the occurrences indicates that the shallow neritic portion of the continental shelf in Early Cambrian time traces a pattern widely diverse from that of the later, superimposed, Laramide structural trend. Portions of the continental shelf were already in existence west of the Rocky Mountain Trench by Early Cambrian time.

Outer Limit

Four species of chaetognaths were found in samples from 11 representative areas along the coastline of western Canada. Sagitta elegans was the most abundant and widely distributed species, occurring, at least in small numbers, in all the areas sampled. It was characteristic of the mixed coastal waters over the continental shelf and of the inland waters. Eukrohnia hamata, an oceanic form, occurred in most regions in small numbers as an immigrant, and was abundant toward the edge of the continental shelf. Sagitta lyra, strictly a deep sea species, was found only in the open waters along the outer coasts, and a few specimens of Sagitta decipiens, another oceanic form, were also taken in deep hauls from areas exposed to open ocean influence. The outer limit of Sagitta elegans corresponded with the inner limits of all three oceanic forms, though Eukrohnia hamata invaded the inland waters to some extent.
