| This can lead to inflated estimates both of apparent local stratigraphic resolution and the degree of faunal endemism. |
| Other faunal elements include colonial and solitary corals, encrusting bryozoans, stromatoporoids, and rare brachiopods. |

| In general, the faunal remains seem to suggest increasing use of domesticated animals over time. |
| The species are representative of both the Midcontinent and Atlantic faunal realms, but dominantly the former. |
| Cape Cod is also a well-known faunal break that separates the Atlantic Boreal fauna to the north from the Atlantic Temperate fauna to the south. |
