Abstract
The fusulinaceans Yabeina and Schwagerina occur with the cephalopods Waagenoceras, Stacheoceras, Agathiceras, and Hyattoceras in the Cache Creek Group in northwestern British Columbia. The species of Yabeina have affinities with Y. ozawai from the lower part of the Neoschwagerina margaritae Zone in Japan and the cephalopods have affinities with those from the Wordian Stage of southwestern North America. This occurrence supports a correlation of the upper part of the Neoschwagerina Zone of the Tethyan faunal province with the upper part of the Zone of Parafusulina in the Midcontinent-South American faunal province.
