N Silurian A name given Murchison, in 1835, to a series of rocks the order of succession of which was first worked out him in that part of England and Wales which was formerly inhabited the Silures. For most of the Ordovician, life continued to flourish, but near the end of the period the End–Ordovician extinction event seriously affected planktonic forms like conodonts, graptolites, and some groups of trilobites. Brachiopods, bryozoans and echinoderms were also heavily affected, and the cone-shaped nautiloids died out completely, except for rare Silurian forms. An artist's impression of a Silurian seascape showing, on the right-hand side, clusters of Pentamerus (1) with other brachiopods, including Atrypa (2), as well as corals (3) and bryozoa (4). Atrypa also occurs amongst the brachiopod fauna shown in the deeper water on the left-hand side where crinoids (5) and gastropods (6) also live.

Abstract A discussion of Silurian stratigraphical classification is followed detailed comments upon the correlation of Llandovery, Wenlock, Ludlow and Přidol Silurian The Silurian period [1] of the Paleozoic era [2], 440-410 million years ago, follows the Ordovician period [3] of the Paleozoic, "the age of ancient life." The Silurian was named the R. I. (1) the calculated Upper Llandovery (c. 430 Ma) palaeolatitude for the site (16�S) is consistent with tectonic models invoking pre-Wenlock closure of the Iapetus Ocean across Britain. (2) the declination of the primary magnetization indicates substantial clockwise rotation within this sector of the Variscan thrust belt. Introduction to the Silurian 6 in this stratigraphical interval are included in this volume. The original selection of Silurian GCR sites was made over 15 years ago and did not take into account the significance of sites of P˝�dol� age within the British outcrop.

It was not until 1879 that Charles Lapworth placed the contested rocks in a new system, the Ordovician (see Ohio Geology, Fall 1997). My new comic is available!

Here we look … Two possibilities suggest themselves for this observation: (1) closure of the Iapetus was synchronous with a 30�–40� clockwise rotation of the entire Avalonian microcontinent; or (2) the sampling sites in southern Britain have undergone varying degrees of local vertical-axis rotations.
