Eramosa, Silurian stratigraphic formation in Bruce Peninsula, Canada

The Eramosa Member consists of dolomite rocks extending 16 kilometers across the South Bruce Peninsula region of Ontario with a thickness of 8 meters.

During the late nineteenth century, the Eramosa formation provided essential building stone materials for construction projects in Hamilton, Ancaster, and Waterdown regions.

The Eramosa Karst Conservation Area preserves multiple caves and geological features within the formation, representing Ontario's natural geological heritage.

The Ontario Geological Survey maintains detailed documentation about the Eramosa Member, accessible through their office for research and educational purposes.

Scientists discovered exceptionally preserved fossils within the Eramosa quarries, including eurypterids and a rare lobopodian with intact pattern preservation.
