Analyzing trends in tropical Devonian brachiopod communities during environmental change in the Waterways Formation of northern Alberta

Brachiopods serve as important sources of marine paleoecological data in the Paleozoic. In this regard, an ecological framework for much of North America during the Devonian is well established; however, the brachiopod communities of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) are understudied. Brachiopod communities of the Late Givetian and Early Frasnian Waterways Formation of northern Alberta were analyzed to identify associations between...
