The Chapel Island Formation is a 1000+ m-thick, mainly siliciclastic succession that is well exposed in coastal cliffs of Burin Peninsula, southeastern Newfoundland, eastern Canada. This unit contains an outstanding record of late Ediacaran-early Cambrian trace fossils with some intervals rich in small shelly fossils, and in 1992 the Fortune Head section was ratified as Global Stratotype Section and Point for the Cambrian System. This contribution represents the first study integrating sedimentologic and ichnologic information for the whole formation and the first systematic monographic work, involving documentation of the trace fossils in classic sections at Fortune Head, Grand Bank Head, and Little Dantzic Cove, as well as in less-explored sections at Fortune North, Lewin's Cove, and Point May. More than 1700 m of strata were logged, and fourteen sedimentary facies composing five facies associations were described and interpreted to be deposited in: (1) mud-flat, mixed-flat, sand-fla
