What is The stratigraphic significance of early Cambrian (Series 2, Stage 4) trilobites from the Smith Bay Shale near Freestone Creek, Kangaroo Island about?
The fossiliferous lower Cambrian (Series 2) successions along the north coast of Kangaroo Island, South Australia-known collectively as the Kangaroo Island Group-can be divided into two main areas: a western succession located between Snelling Beach and Smith Bay, which comprises the Mt McDonnell Formation (base), Stokes Bay Sandstone and Smith Bay Shale; and an eastern succession that extends from Emu Bay to Point Marsden, represented by exposures of the White Point Conglomerate (base), Marsden Sandstone, Emu Bay Shale and Boxing Bay Formation (top), with an overlap in the Cape d'Estaing/Emu Bay area. Some previous interpretations of the Kangaroo Island Group stratigraphy suggest that the western succession stratigraphically underlies the eastern succession. Most of the previously reported and described Cambrian fossils come from the eastern succession, especially the internationally significant Emu Bay Shale Konservat-Lagerst€ atte. Here we report the trilobites Redlichia takooensis and Balcoracania dailyi from the Smith Bay Shale near Freestone Creek, indicating that the eastern and western successions are at least partly contemporaneous. The present investigation indicates that
