Features: This book is the final outcome of the original research project "Study and Cartography of Palaeogeography during the Cambrian and Ordovician in China" undertaken by the authors under the former China National Petroleum Corporation. Guided by sedimentology theory, with quantitative field data as the foundation and the methodology of single-factor analysis combined with multi-factor synthesis cartography, the authors successfully compiled palaeogeographic maps of the Cambrian and Ordovician in North China, South China, Northwest China, and the entire country. This book not only lays the groundwork for quantitative palaeogeography but also effectively serves the prediction and exploration of oil and other mineral resources. It can serve as a reference for geologists worldwide and students and faculty of relevant institutions.
