The lithostratigraphy of the Ribband Group of southeastern Ireland is revised through comparison to the equivalent Avalonian margin sequences of the Manx(Isle of Man) and Skiddaw (northern England) Groups. Four tracts are recognized in the Ribband Group, within which fossil age control and the ‘coticule package’ marker horizon are used to constrain lithofacies comparisons. Volcanic arc rocks in the Ribband and Manx Groups contrast with the passive margin provenance of the Skiddaw Group.
