Paleobiogeographical aspects of the Ordovician mediterranean faunas

The distribution of the faunas and sediments of mediterranean character is related to paleogeographical aspects (epicratonic seas at high latitudes surrounding the Gondwanan continent) as well as to global transgressive-regressive cycles which, together with some oceanic currents, facilitated the in...

Descrição
Resumo:The distribution of the faunas and sediments of mediterranean character is related to paleogeographical aspects (epicratonic seas at high latitudes surrounding the Gondwanan continent) as well as to global transgressive-regressive cycles which, together with some oceanic currents, facilitated the interprovincial dispersal of certain characteristic elements throughout several epochs of the Ordovician Period
