Abstract The Late Ordovician (Katian-Hirnantian) through earliest Silurian (Rhuddanian)
interval was a time of varying climate and sea level, marked by a peak glacial episode in the …

The discreteness or otherwise of major Ordovician and Silurian terranes can be recognised
by the shallow-water benthic faunas which lived upon them. Their borders are often …

A succession of palaeogeographical reconstructions is presented, covering half the globe
and the time interval from the latest Proterozoic (Vendian) at 550 Ma to the end of the …

Abstract The Caledonides of Britain and Ireland are one of the most intensively studied
orogenic belts in the world. This review considers all the tectonic events associated with the …

The 425 Ma Arrochar and Garabal Hill–Glen Fyne complexes of highland Scotland are
examples of post-orogenic magmatism accompanying extensional collapse of an orogen, in …

In the original Wilson cycle, the northern Appalachian–Caledonide orogen resulted from the
collision of two continental masses separated by a single ocean. One of these corresponds …

Avalonia was undoubtedly an independent terrane throughout the Ordovician, merging with
Baltica at about Ordovician–Silurian boundary times (443 Ma). We consider it to have been …

During terrane convergence, an influx of clastic sediment from an upper plate onto a lower
plate is an early indication of terrane juxtaposition. In the Caledonides of Great Britain and …
