Benthic Foraminiferal Morphogroups and Trace Fossils From Albian Shallow-Marine Mudstone Facies of the Viking Formation, Western Interior Seaway, Canada
Abstract:This study assesses the foraminiferal morphogroup concept as a quantitative tool for interpreting environments of deposition in the geological record. This was achieved by first establishing a solid paleoenvironmental framework based on assessment of trace fossils (Zoophycos, Cruziana, and Phycosiphon ichnofacies, and the unnamed brackish-water association), sedimentology, and facies analysis of shallow-marine siliciclastic units of the upper Albian Viking Formation of the Western Interior Seaway, Canada.
