Faunas of the Pleistocene Champlain Sea

Abstract: The Champlain Sea was a body of water of varying salinity that covered parts of the present Ottawa -St. Lawrence Lowland from about 11,500 years B.P. to between 8,000 and 9,000 years B.P. Fossil s are widespread throughout the a rea and have been the subject of numerous studies since 1837. A comprehensive listing of previous records has been issued separately, and this report presents the results of more recent field work. Species examined by the writer are described and illustrated. The faunal assemblages ind… Show more

“…At first, Champlain Sea sediments were subdivided into Leda clays {Portlandia arctica), and Saxicava sands (Hiatella arctica) (Logan, 1863;Dawson, 1893). Gadd (1971) summarized much of the evidence presented during the previous 100 years and his work, together with that of Wagner (1970) on invertebrate marine faunas, laid a solid foundation for subsequent studies. The diversity of sediment faciès and the importance of detailed local sedimentological and biostratigraphic studies were demonstrated by HillaireMarcel (1972HillaireMarcel ( , 1974 and co-workers (Hillaire-Marcel et al, 1974) and by Rust and Romanelli (1975).…”

“…Les coquilles de mollusques marins sont des fossiles très abondants. Elles sont plus robustes et abondantes à l'est du bassin et moins abondantes, moins variées et plus petites à l'ouest et au sud du bassin, en raison de leur éloignement par rapport à l'entrée de la Mer de Champlain (Goldring, 1922;Wagner, 1970).…”

“…Outre les mollusques, les gastropodes, les pélécypodes, les ostracodes et les foraminifères, les dépôts de la Mer de Champlain contiennent également les restes d'invertébrés suivants: éponges, bryozoaires, brachiopodes, cirripèdes, échinodermes, annélides et insectes, dont des coléoptères et une phrygane (Ami, 1895;Wagner, 1970) (tabl. II).…”

“…No previous foraminifer based stratigraphie work is known bearing exclusively on the present area. Local data are available from Cronin (1979a) concerning in particular the St-Nicolas sand pit (see below) and from Wagner (1970) who includes many eastern Champlain Sea localities in her data.…”
