This compilation is a synthesis of Ordovician-Triassic conodont research undertaken in the Canadian Cordillera during the past decade. The studies include an overview of the record in Western Canada; a review of the paleontology; and descriptions of conodonts from the Cordillera Road River group in northern Yukon Territory, from the eastern and northern Canadian cordillera, of the Palliser Formation in the Rocky Mountains, and from the Cache Creek Complex in south-central B.C.

The first paper in this compilation presents a brief history of geological exploration on southern Baffin Island. The second paper describes the geological framework of the Ordovician system in the south-east Arctic platform, Nunavut, and includes information on the stratigraphy & lithology of the Ordovician formations exposed on southern Baffin Island. The five remaining papers contain detailed paleontological descriptions of Ordovician fossils from that area, including algae, sponges, ostracoda, coral, echinoderms, brachiopods, mollusks, trilobites, conodonts, graptolites, and chitinozoans.
