Although it is relatively barren regionally of body fossils, individual beds can be rich in complete body fossils. Individual beds within the Bright Angel Shale are as productive as many of the other Cambrian formations in the Great Basin and Rocky Mountain regions. The Bright Angel Shale has yielded at least 15 579:
transgressions and regressions. However, parts of it have also been more recently interpreted as including estuary and tidal flat settings influenced by storm events. This interpretation is based on the type of cross-bedding in sandstones and presence of wavy or lenticular heterolithic bedding, both of which indicate a changing tidal environment.

The complex interfingering of the Bright Angel Shale with the overlying Muav Limestone is the main cause of the variability in its thickness.

in the shales, the dominant lithology of the formation is regarded as evidence for minimal marine influence during their deposition. Isolated shale beds within the Bright Angel Shale that contain a well preserved and diverse fauna of trilobites, brachiopods and others fossils likely represent periods

In the Grand Canyon, the Bright Angel Shale is generally about 110 to 150 m (360 to 490 ft) thick. In the western Grand Canyon, the Bright Angel Shale is over 140 m (460 ft) thick and decrease eastward in thickness to only about 82 m (269 ft) at Toroweap in the central

to indicate that it crosses time lines and becomes younger toward the east. In their interpretation, the base of the Bright Angel Shale and its lower third of it is late Early Cambrian whereas in the eastern part of the canyon its base and entire thickness is Middle Cambrian. In 2018, K. Karlstrom

Initially, the Bright Angel Shale, largely on the presence of glauconite, was regarded to have accumulated within the deeper part of a marine shelf. Later, the Bright Angel Shale is typically interpreted as a shallow marine shelf unit and its various members are interpreted to be to minor

Towards its base, the Bright Angel Shale becomes increasingly coarser with increasing frequency of sandstone beds until it grades gradually into the Tapeats Sandstone. 444:, mixture of interbedded shale, mudstone, siltstone, fine-grained sandstone, and isolated beds of limestone.

and others found that the Tapeats Sandstone is younger than previously interpreted and does not get younger to the east. As a result, the Bright Angel Shale lies entirely in the Middle Cambrian.

Within the Grand Canyon, the Bright Angel Shale is the most fossiliferous of the five formations that comprise the Tonto Group. It contains a variety of body fossils and is rich in
