The Miette Group is an assemblage of metamorphosed sedimentary rocks of latest Precambrian ( Neoproterozoic) age. It is present in the Canadian Cordillera from the Lake Louise area of Alberta to the Yukon. [2] [3] The Miette rocks include Ediacaran fossils, stromatolites, and trace fossils. [3] [4] [5] [6]
