Paleo is better served in Britain. Should be basic to any study of the
Cambrian. It was in my mining shool to a small degree. But should
be amplified as it is so basic to superpositional theory and gets students
thinking stratigraphically regionally. I think you will find that at 
Edmonton and Calgary it is still dabbled in. I will admit it is missing 
to a large degree in many geo courses throughout hardrock geo courses and 
geo engineering.
