Summary

A revised correlation of Silurian rocks in the British Isles establishes a detailed stratigraphical framework for Llandovery, Wenlock, Ludlow, and Přidolí successions across Wales, England, Scotland, and Ireland. The study provides correlation charts that integrate selected outcrops and concealed sequences, offering a robust regional standard. It extends this framework internationally by comparing British Silurian records with those from Anticosti Island (Canada), New York, Oslo, Gotland, Estonia, Thuringia, Bohemia, Podolia, and Kazakhstan. The research bridges gaps in enigmatic records, such as Cornwall's, while emphasizing the significance of Eastern and Southern England's concealed strata. This comprehensive approach enhances global understanding of Silurian stratigraphy.
