Paleogeography of the Altai-Sayan Region in the Ordovician and Silurian
Authors:
Abstract
Ordovician and Silurian sediments are quite widespread in the Altai-Sayan region. In describing the stratigraphy, tectonics, and history of geologic development of southern Siberia, many researchers have touched upon the paleogeography of certain areas in the Ordovician and Silurian. A. B. Gintsinger [1964] considered the paleogeography of Altai and Salair in the Ordovician in the most detail. M. S. Potapova gave the first detailed paleogeographic reconstructions for the Silurian of Altai. I. N. Kazakov [1965] and L. P. Zonenshain [1963] considered the geologic history of the Western Sayan in the Ordovician and Silurian.
