This realm is closely related to the position of the transition from miogeosynclmal to eugeosynclinal facies, presumed to indicate the position of Ordovician continental margins. In Middle Ordovician time North America, parts of Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, and northeastern Asia may have constituted a single continental mass. This content is PDF only.
