Archaeocyatha

Archaeocyatha ('ancient cups') is a taxon of extinct, sessile, reef-building marine sponges that lived in warm tropical and subtropical waters during the Cambrian Period.

See Fortunian and Archaeocyatha

Burin Peninsula

The Burin Peninsula is a peninsula located on the south coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

See Fortunian and Burin Peninsula

Cambrian

The Cambrian is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, and the Phanerozoic Eon.

See Fortunian and Cambrian

Cambrian Stage 2

Stage 2 of the Cambrian is the unnamed upper stage of the Terreneuvian Series. Fortunian and Cambrian Stage 2 are Cambrian geochronology and geological ages.

See Fortunian and Cambrian Stage 2

Canada

Canada is a country in North America.

See Fortunian and Canada

Chapel Island Formation

The Chapel Island Formation is a sedimentary formation from the Burin Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada.

See Fortunian and Chapel Island Formation

Ed Landing

Ed Landing (born 10 August 1949 in Milwaukee) is an American geologist and paleontologist.

See Fortunian and Ed Landing

Fortune Bay

Fortune Bay is a fairly large natural bay located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the south coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

See Fortunian and Fortune Bay

Fortune Head

Fortune Head is a headland located about from the town of Fortune on the Burin Peninsula, southeastern Newfoundland.

See Fortunian and Fortune Head

Fortune, Newfoundland and Labrador

Fortune (2021 population: 1,285) is a Canadian town located in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

See Fortunian and Fortune, Newfoundland and Labrador

Geologic time scale

The geologic time scale or geological time scale (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth.

See Fortunian and Geologic time scale

Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point

A Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP), sometimes referred to as a golden spike, is an internationally agreed upon reference point on a stratigraphic section which defines the lower boundary of a stage on the geologic time scale.

See Fortunian and Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point

International Commission on Stratigraphy

The International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), sometimes unofficially referred to as the "International Stratigraphic Commission", is a daughter or major subcommittee grade scientific daughter organization that concerns itself with stratigraphical, geological, and geochronological matters on a global scale.

See Fortunian and International Commission on Stratigraphy

Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador (Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador; frequently abbreviated as NL) is the easternmost province of Canada, in the country's Atlantic region.

See Fortunian and Newfoundland and Labrador

Paleozoic

The Paleozoic (or Palaeozoic) Era is the first of three geological eras of the Phanerozoic Eon.

See Fortunian and Paleozoic

Phanerozoic

The Phanerozoic is the current and the latest of the four geologic eons in the Earth's geologic time scale, covering the time period from 538.8 million years ago to the present.

See Fortunian and Phanerozoic

Series (stratigraphy)

Series are subdivisions of rock layers based on the age of the rock and formally defined by international conventions of the geological timescale.

See Fortunian and Series (stratigraphy)

Small shelly fauna

The small shelly fauna, small shelly fossils (SSF), or early skeletal fossils (ESF) are mineralized fossils, many only a few millimetres long, with a nearly continuous record from the latest stages of the Ediacaran to the end of the Early Cambrian Period.

See Fortunian and Small shelly fauna

Stage (stratigraphy)

In chronostratigraphy, a stage is a succession of rock strata laid down in a single age on the geologic timescale, which usually represents millions of years of deposition. Fortunian and stage (stratigraphy) are geological ages.

See Fortunian and Stage (stratigraphy)

Stratigraphy of the Cambrian

The Stratigraphy of the Cambrian period currently has several schemes used for ordering geologic formations from the period.

See Fortunian and Stratigraphy of the Cambrian

Terreneuvian

The Terreneuvian is the lowermost and oldest series of the Cambrian geological system. Fortunian and Terreneuvian are Cambrian Canada and Cambrian geochronology.

See Fortunian and Terreneuvian

Trace fossil

A trace fossil, also known as an ichnofossil (from ἴχνος ikhnos "trace, track"), is a fossil record of biological activity by lifeforms but not the preserved remains of the organism itself.

See Fortunian and Trace fossil

Treptichnus

Treptichnus (formerly named Phycodes, Manykodes by J. Dzik, and also known as TrichophycusSee e.g.) is the preserved burrow of an animal.

See Fortunian and Treptichnus

Trilobite

Trilobites (meaning "three lobes") are extinct marine arthropods that form the class Trilobita.

See Fortunian and Trilobite
