Abstract
Fieldwork in east-central Ellesmere Island has confirmed the regional extent of many lower Paleozoic formations, including the Kennedy Channel, Ella Bay, Dallas Bugt, Kane Basin, Scoresby Bay, Parrish Glacier, and Cass Fjord formations. Two regionally extensive, unconformity- bounded members are recognized within the Scoresby Bay Formation. The lower member is within the lower Bonnia- Olenellus Zone and the upper member is within the upper part of the same zone. Other newly documented age data include the occurrence of Ehmaniella Zone trilobites in the basal part of the Parrish Glacier Formation, indicating an age slightly younger than that in the type section. The base of the Cass Fjord Formation is within the Cedaria-Crepicephalus Zone, which is the same age as that established from east-central Ellesmere Island. The base of member two of the Cass Fjord Formation is slightly older than established elsewhere and rests within the Taenicephalus Zone.
