Abstract
Summary: The Lower Palaeozoic strata west of the Leinster Granite in eastern Ireland, normally referred to as Ordovician, are mainly a greywacke sequence which lithologically resembles undoubted Silurian rocks elsewhere to the north and west. A scanty fauna occurs which could be either Ordovician or Silurian.Keywords
