Objective(s): To characterize the paleo-environments and trilobite fossil communities that existed in the Late Cambrian Cass Fiord sediments of the Arctic Islands; and to prepare a biostratigraphic zonation.
Project Description: The researcher will study trilobite fossil communities that exsisted in the Cambrian Period. Study of these fossils will help in more precisely dating the rocks laid down by this sea. The researcher will also prepare a biostratigraphic zonation.
