During the Silurian Period, tectonism was fairly marked in the Chinese region, and extensive shallow-water marine transgressions occurred, with the accompanying development of eugeosynclinal and miogeosynclinal regimes. In the Late Silurian, a Caledonian (Kwangsian) orogenic movement affected several regions of China and regression was marked. The Lower Silurian of China is principally a graptolitic facies, with 12 zones, giving place in the Middle Silurian to a predominantly shelly facies. The Upper Silurian is similar to the Middle Silurian but is usually more clastic and less fossiliferous, especially in the higher parts. |
