Abstract

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
La distribución de las asociaciones fosilíferas de «tipo mediterráneo» está relacionada con factores paleogeográficos (mares epicratónicos de latitudes elevadas próximos al continente de Gondwana) y con los ciclos globales de transgresión-regresión que, combinados con las corrientes marinas, facilitaron la dispersión interprovincial de algunos elementos característicos a 10 largo de diversas etapas del Período Ordovícico
