Sequences of SE Asian Ordovician compared
Direct comparisons of sedimentary successions
In a brief review we cannot consider all the se- quences developed in the possibly adjacent pal- aeoplates (Fig.4) We have compared the best- known areas of Sibumasu (S. Thailand and northern Shan States, Burma) discussed in some detail above, with representative sections from North China, South China, and central Australia. Chinese Ordovician stratigraphy has recently been extensively reviewed by Chen et al. (1995), wherein many sections from each prov-
