Abstract
Abstract The Middle Turonian Kaskapau Formation in the Rocky Mountain Foothills of northeastern British Columbia comprises up to 950 m of shallow marine sandstones cyclically interstratified with marine mudstones and minor lagoonal deposits. Transgressive surfaces are commonly mantled by thin pebble lags. A transgressive pebble lag exposed in Quality Creek near Tumbler Ridge town site includes rare, well-rounded quartzite cobbles and a quartzite boulder, which were deposited at a paleolatitude of about 67°N. Encrusting organisms are unevenly distributed over five of the largest clasts. Disciniscid brachiopods are abundant on one cobble but are otherwise rare. A conical-shelled lingulate brachiopod with concentric growth lamellae occurs sparsely, and a weakly ribbed lingulate brachiopod is represented by one shell. Serpulid worm tubes, encrusting bryozoans, and possible basal attachments of corals are also present. Attached foraminifera are abundant and distributed over several clasts. Generic diversity an...
