The Inner Meadow is an Ediacaran aged fossiliferous deposit, and is found close to outcroppings of the Fermeuse Formation, near to Upper Island Cove on the island of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. Considered to be a lagerstätte, it contains biota most commonly found in the Avalon assemblage, showing that both the Avalon and White Sea assemblages are contemporaneous, with the only differences between the two being ecology.
