Report by: Jim Dover , Irv L. Tailleur , Julie A. Dumoulin
Age: Norian (Late Triassic (latest middle to early late Norian))
Formation: Imnaitchiak Chert
Comment:Age:

Late Triassic (latest middle to early late Norian; Pantanellium silberlingi Subzone of the Betraccium deceweveri Zone of Blome, 1984; also see Blome and others, 1988).

The Association of Livarella may extend down into the middle Norian, at least in North American rock sequences.
