Under mellanordovicium täcktes paleokontinenten Baltica av ett grundhav och i det temperade klimatet som rådde avsattes långsamt kallvattenkarbonater som kom att täcka stora delar av paleokontinenten. Idag har merparten av dessa sedimentlager eroderat bort och kalksten har endast bevarats på spridda platser i Sverige. Mellanordovicisk kalksten är väl exponerad i Gullhögens stenbrott på Billingen iDuring the Middle Ordovician the paleocontinent Baltica was covered by an epicontinental sea, wherein cool-water carbonates were deposited. The carbonate deposits covered most of the oscandian paleobasin, but due to erosion only a small portion is preserved today. Ordovician limestone at the Gullhögen quarry, Billingen, Västergötland is preserved due to protection from overlying Permian dolerite s
