This study presents a re-evaluation of the arthropod ichnotaxa of the Cruziana rugosa Group from bio- and/or lithostratigraphically well-defined Lower to Upper Ordovician siliciclastic sections of southern and central Bolivia. With the exception of Cruziana rouaulti, the ichnofaunas contain all the members of the Cruziana rugosa Group throughout the Ordovician (Arenig to Caradoc) successions in Bolivia. The Bolivian material therefore indicates that these arthropod ichnofossil assemblages are suitable for recognizing Ordovician strata in Bolivia. These findings cast doubt on their use as reliable indicators for a global intra-Ordovician (Arenig to Caradoc) biozonation of Peri-Gondwanan sedimentary successions. Keywords: Cruziana, biostratigraphy, Bolivia, Ordovician. 1. Introduction to the present study.

Dentro del modelo de Cobertura Total Para Siempre, el equipo desarrolla actividades en tres ejes temáticos: Saneamiento, Agua y Desarrollo Comunitario y Fortalecimiento Institucional. En la ciudad de Cochabamba, donde se encuentre la oficina central, trabajamos con los Municipios de Arani, Tiraque, Villa Rivero, San Benito, Pocona, Arbieto, San Pedro y Villa Gualberto Villarroel – Cuchumuela (Cuchumuela). El enfoque centra en accionar en los gobiernos municipales a través de convenios interinstitucionales para la implementación de proyectos de agua y saneamiento, para lograr que cada familia, comunidad e institución pública cuente con servicios básicos con enfoque de Para Siempre. El trabajo de Water For People en el municipio de Cuchumuela inicia en la gestión 2007, a través de la firma de un convenio institucional, para la implementación del “Programa de Saneamiento Básico para el Municipio de Villa Gualberto Villarroel – Cuchumuela.” El proyecto tiene cinco componentes: Agua, Saneamiento, Higiene y Salud, Medio Ambiente y Fortalecimiento Institucional. La ejecución del programa contó con cofinanciamiento del gobierno municipal, Water For People y las comunidades con contraparte en especie y efectivo.

Gruenwald2 1 Repsol Exploración, Paseo de la Castellana 280, 28046 Madrid, Spain. [email protected] 2 REMSA, Dhat El-Imad Complex, Tower 3, Floor 9, Tripoli, Libya. Keywords: Ordovician, Libya, glaciation, Mamuniyat, Melaz Shugran, Hirnantian. INTRODUCTION An Upper Ordovician glacial episode is widely recognized as a significant event in the geological history of the Lower Paleozoic. This is especially so in the case of the Saharan Platform where Upper Ordovician sediments are well developed and represent a major target for hydrocarbon exploration. This paper is a brief summary of the results of fieldwork, in outcrops across SW Libya, together with the analysis of cores, hundreds of well logs (including many high quality image logs) and seismic lines focused on the uppermost Ordovician of the Murzuq Basin. STRATIGRAPHIC FRAMEWORK The uppermost Ordovician section is the youngest of three major sequences recognized widely across the entire Saharan Platform: Sequence CO1: Unconformably overlies the Precambrian or Infracambrian basement. It comprises the possible Upper Cambrian to Lowermost Ordovician Hassaouna Formation. Sequence CO2: Truncates CO1 along a low angle, Type II unconformity. It comprises the laterally extensive and distinctive Lower Ordovician (Tremadocian-Floian?) Achebayat Formation overlain, along a probable transgressive surface of erosion, by interbedded burrowed sandstones, cross-bedded channel-fill sandstones and mudstones of Middle Ordovician age (Dapingian-Sandbian), known as the Hawaz Formation, and interpreted as shallow-marine sediments deposited within a megaestuary or gulf.
