| Abstract | High resolution biostratigraphic investigation of well preserved and highly diversified chitinozoan assemblages from core samples collected in the upper part of the Alternances Gréso-argileuses Formation (late Silurian) in well A1-61 (Tripolitania, north–western Libya) is undertaken. The chitinozoan assemblages document the range of several Pridolian taxa selected as index species for the global Silurian chitinozoan biozonation. Distribution of important accompanying species is also discussed. The abundance and the diversity of these chitinozoans are quantified and collated with the local environmental trends. The palaeogeographic distribution of late Silurian chitinozoans is discussed, focusing on a distinctive assemblage characterizing the Pridoli of the Ibramaghian Domain in northern Gondwana regions. |
