Abstract

The palaeontology and stratigraphy of the Ordovician if Iran has been the subject of considerable research over the past 15 years, revealing biogeographically significant faunas whose affinities are shared both with peri-Gondwanian terranes and continental blocks. Documentation of the composition and ages of these faunas, many of which are still poorly known, is critical to constraining palaeogeographic reconstructions of the time.
