Fractofusus misrai is an Ediacaran fossil discovered in 1967 by S.B. Misra at Mistaken Point, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, which has since become the Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve. It was named after Professor Misra in 2007. It represents a frondose rangeomorph.
Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve is a wilderness area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located at the southeastern tip of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The reserve is home to the namesake Mistaken Point Formation, which contains one of the most diverse and well-preserved collections of Precambrian fossils in the world. Ediacaran fossils discovered at the site constitute the oldest known remnants of multicellular life on Earth.
The Brigus Formation is a fossiliferous upper lower Cambrian geologic formation in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Gaskiers Formation is a geologic formation in Newfoundland and Labrador. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ediacaran period.
The Mistaken Point Formation is a geologic formation in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is recognized as a Lagerstätte preserving fossils dating back to the Ediacaran period. It contains a stratum dated to 565 ± 3 million years ago.
The Fermeuse Formation is a fossil-bearing Ediacaran geologic formation in Newfoundland.
The Renews Head Formation is a geologic formation in Newfoundland and Labrador. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ediacaran period.
The St John's Group is a fossiliferous shale-dominated Ediacaran geologic group in Newfoundland and Labrador, younger than 565 ± 3 million years ago.
The Fosters Point Formation is a Cambrian limestone geologic formation in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. It preserves fossils.
The Miette Group is an assemblage of metamorphosed sedimentary rocks of latest Precambrian (Neoproterozoic) age. It is present in the Canadian Cordillera from the Lake Louise area of Alberta to the Yukon. The Miette rocks include Ediacaran fossils, stromatolites, and trace fossils.
The Random Formation is a rock unit in Newfoundland dating to the early Cambrian period, dominated by tidal quartz arenites deposited in a near-shore environment, but also incorporating intertidal and open-shelf deposits, including glauconitic and mud-cracked mudstones, and red channel sandstones. It was deposited quickly and is approximately 175 m thick. The Blue Pinion Formation was originally recognized as a separate formation, but is now interpreted as an expression of the Random Formation.
The Rencontre Formation is a geological formation just below the Cambrian-Ediacaran boundary in Newfoundland, deposited in a fault-bounded enclosed basin. U-Pb dates obtained just below its base give a maximum age of 552 ± 3 million years ago.
The Connecting Point Group is a Late Neoproterozoic geological formation cropping out on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland, dominated by deep marine turbidite deposits.
Young's Cove Group is a stratigraphic group covering the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary (in the Chapel Island Formation, cropping out on the Burin Peninsula and elsewhere in Newfoundland.
The Marystown Group is a Neoproterozoic stratigraphic group of predominantly volcanic sediments – subaerially deposited ash flow tuffs from rhyolites and alkali basalts, with a central sandstone unit, cropping out in Newfoundland.
The Signal Hill Group is a siliciclastic Group of marine Ediacaran strata, cropping out in Newfoundland, in the eastern Bonavista Peninsula and the eastern Avalon peninsula.
The Musgravetown Group is a terminal Ediacaran stratigraphic group of terrestrialish sandstones, lavas and tuffs cropping out in Newfoundland.
The Love Cove Group is a metamorphosed volcaniclastic sedimentary group cropping out in southeastern Newfoundland. Strata from towards the middle of the formation have been dated to 620 ± 1 million years ago.
Parviscopa is a genus of frondose forms characterized in 2008 based on specimens from Newfoundland, Canada. Parviscopa is a member of the Ediacaran biota, and is more specifically part of the Avalon type assemblage, which is from the older part of the Ediacaran and is characterized by deep water deposits.
The geology of Newfoundland and Labrador includes basement rocks formed as part of the Grenville Province in the west and Labrador and the Avalonian microcontinent in the east. Extensive tectonic changes, metamorphism and volcanic activity have formed the region throughout Earth history.
