The Ribband Group is a geologic group in south-eastern Ireland. It is the most extensive stratigraphic unit in this part of Ireland. It underlies much of County Wexford. It overlies the Bray Group and Cahore Group. It is made up of medium to dark grey laminated greywacke siltstones and mudstones with occasional green beds.[1] Turbidite structures are locally prominent and the unit is dominantly a distal turbidite succession. Intercalated volcanic rocks are locally abundant. The ages of the rocks of the group range from the Cambrian[2] to the Ordovician,[3] Middle Cambrian-Llanvirn (Middle Ordovician).[4]
The Ribband group is one of the four Early Palaeozoic stratigraphic groups in SE Ireland. The others are: the Bray group (made up of laterally-derived flysch) which is conformably overlain by the Ribband Group; the Duncannon Group (a highly faulted, predominantly volcanic, platform sequence) which unconformably overlies the Ribband Group except in the west; the Kilcullen Group in the Comeragh Mountains, which is composed of sand-dominant turbidites (lower Ordovician to at least the Llandovery Epoch of the Silurian) which are conformably underlain by the Ribband and Duncannon Groups. The sediments of the Ribband group pass upward into the Kilcullen Group turbidites. This reflects a continuous period of flysch sedimentation.[4]
Although most of the Group is unfossiliferous (without fossils), locally sparse graptolite faunas and acritarchs have been found. Their dating range from the Drumian stage of the Cambrian to the Early-Mid Ordovician.[5][6]
