Stratigraphic and geographic range.― Technophorus ranges from the Early Ordovician, or possible Furongian (late Cambrian), to Late Ordovician and occurs except for in the Amadeus and Georgina basins (Pojeta et al. 1977: 20) also in Spain ( Gutiérrez-Marco et al. 1984), North America ( Frey 1987) and South America ( Pribyl and Vanek 1980).
