The
House Range Lagerstatte Fossil Lacalities
Formations in the House
Range near Delta Utah can truly be considered America's
Burgess Shale. The
oldest Wheeler Formation lies beneath the Marjum
Formation which, in turn, lies below the Weeks
Formation; they are
about 100, 300 and 300 meters thick, respectively. Together
they span some 10 million
years of deposition, representing the most fossiliferous
middle Cambrian strta in the United States. |
