Description: Much of the limestone of the Silurian era was laid down in large reef systems. This article discusses the structure of the reef and the diverse species that lived among the coral.
Just as you associate coal with rocks of Carboniferous age, many geologists will associate the Silurian with limestone. Much of the limestone was laid down in large reef systems or in similar environments to the huge coral barrier reefs of today. After the end of the Ordovician sea levels rose - probably due to release of water from the melting ice caps. The shallow water conditions over wide areas in Europe and North America provide ideal conditions for reef development. The other conditions - clear mud-free water and warmth were also largely present.
