This report defines and explains the stratigraphy of these Lower Ordovician rocks, including the regional geology and geography, their age, and a review of work already done in the area.

It provides the firstdescription of this deformed yet surprisingly intact sequence deposit at thefoot of a continental slope. A new stratigraphic nomenclature has beenerected which reflects discernible proximal versus distal faciesrelaionships. Intercalation of deep water graptolite and trilobite faunaswith shallow water boulders containing trilobites and brachiopods permitscorrelattion between quite different faunal realms, which is of internationalsignificance for early paleozoic biostratigraphy. The sediments reflectchanges in the depositional regimen of the adjacent shallow platform marginwhich accreted in response to the evolving community of carbonate producingorganisms and eustatic fluctuations in sea level. The report includes anextensive appendix which details the stratigraphy and paleontology of allimportant stratigraphic sections.
