摘要:
The Late Ordovician paleogeographic changes in the Yangtze Platform indicate a widespread regression and consequent subaerial exposure probably caused by the ‘locking up’ of substantial amounts of marine waters during the Late Ordovician glaciation. The subsequent rapid paleogeographic changes on the Yangtze Platform during the earliest Silurian suggest a rapid melting of the ice. The relatively cool waters in the partially closed Yangtze basin during the latest Ordovician were replaced by open and warm waters during the earliest Silurian. Sedimentation rates and composition of faunal assemblages underwent marked changes during latest Ordovician and Early Silurian.Glaciation, Ordovician, Silurian, Paleogeography, sedimentary rate, faunal cha
