| Up until now more than 30,000 macrofossils have been excavated, all of which document a highly diverse terrestrial flora and fauna. |
| Cooccurring macrofossils include 18 species of agnostoid and polymeroid trilobites, some of which are partly silicified. |
| The apparent increase of carbonaceous macrofossils through the Proterozoic Eon is likely a result of combined biological and environmental evolution. |
| Macrofossils such as Scutella, Clypeaster, Echinolampas, Amphiope, and Maretia represent warm waters. |
| In contrast, the many shale layers seem to be poor in macrofossils largely because they were deposited at depth below the photic zone as indicated by benthic foraminifera. |
| The areas where Holocene macrofossils have been located and carbon-dated are indicated by coloured zones to the north of the current treelines. |
