Status of the Jurassic in the Canadian Cordillera of British Columbia, Alberta, and southern Yukon

Abstract

Jurassic index fossils of the Canadian Cordillera indicate the presence of some zones of most Jurassic stages. In this report the more important localities are listed, the source of information, published and unpublished, is indicated, and an up-dated correlation chart is presented. The importance of tectonic events and their effect on the completeness of the Jurassic fossil record and on the Jurassic paleogeography are stressed.
