... The problem for pre-Variscan palaeogeographical reconstructions in SE Europe is therefore a very complex issue in which two orogenic fronts (Variscan and Alpine) overlap in a diffuse belt between the European and African plates. It records the splitting of terranes from different places, diachronous rifting and the development of back-arc basins along the northern margin of Gondwana, remnants of closed ocean basins, late Paleozoic large-scale block rotations and mega-shears, post-Variscan processes of rifting and the opening of new oceanic domains, and an Alpine orogenic system with various phases of special complexity (see Krstekanicé t al. 2020;Schmid et al. 2020;Spahićet al. 2021;Neubauer et al. 2022 and references therein). All of these matters are outside of our aims, that focus on providing an updated synthesis of the stratigraphic and palaeontological knowledge of the Ordovician strata across the different domains of the Balkan Peninsula. ...
