Arenig to Llandovery faunal distributions in the Caledonides

Abstract: Metamorphic activity in the ortho-tectonic zone of the British Isles relating to this period is included in the article by Ben Harte in the previous section.Articles by Jack Soper and Jo Chaloupski dealing with regional tectonics in Britain and the Bohemian massif and which partly relate to this period appear in the next section.

“…50°S. Biogeographic data for the Iapetus-bordering blocks (Cocks and Fortey, 1982;Neuman, 1984;Fortey and Cocks, 1988) are in good agreement with these paleomagnetic data ( Van der Voo, 1988). Moreover, paleontologic evidence from several units in the CMB of the Appalachian orogen suggests the presence of seamounts in Iapetus, as represented by the Celtic fauna (Neuman, 1984(Neuman, , 1988 however, the location of these islands as well as other Ordovician tectonic elements of Iapetus relative to the bordering continents was largely unknown.…”

“…The existence of an ocean between Laurentia, comprising North America and Greenland plus northern Great Britain, and western Gondwana, consisting of South America and Africa, has been well documented (e.g., Wilson, 1966;Dewey, 1969;Cocks and Fortey, 1982;Fortey and Cocks, 1988). The name Iapetus was proposed for this ocean by Harland and Gayer (1972).…”

“…N America is characterized by benthic trilobites of the Bathyuridae family, nautiloids such as Plioceras, many particular brachiopod genera (e.g. Hesperonomiella) and the so-called 'midcontinent conodont province' (Cocks & Fortey 1982, Fortey & Cocks 1988). Most of the faunas which are restricted to the continent are shallowwater benthos; many deeper-water benthos (oc-curring mainly around the continental margins) and some of the pelagic animals were capable of spreading to other continents.The more mobile faunas include a few ostracods (Schallreuter & Siveter 1985) which appear to have been surprisingly widely distributed in the Ordovician.…”

“…The pelagic graptolites and those trilobites which are thought to be pelagic show a mixture of genera, some of which also occur in N America and Gondwana. If their distribution is related to climate the Scandinavian faunas would appear to indicate latitudes intermediate between those of the other two continents (Cocks & Fortey 1982, Fortey & Cocks 1988.…”

“…We would repeat briefly that the shallow shelf faunas of the Lake District and the Northern Belt are distinct throughout the Cambrian and the Ordovician until the Caradoc and later (Fortey & Cocks 1988;McKerrow & Soper 1989;Fortey et al 1989). For example, the shelly faunas found in the Caradoc of Kilbucho are undoubtedly of Laurentian affinity.…”
