Abstract
At the end of the Ordovician many marine benthonic and planktonic faunas underwent a global extinction that has been attributed to climatic changes and glacio-eustatic fluctuations in sea-level (Berry and Boucot, 1973; Sheehan, 1973, 1975; Brenchley, 1984). Raup and Sepkoski (1982) found that the Late Ordovician-Early Silurian extinction event was one of the five major Phanerozoic mass extinctions.
