Diversity and spatial turnover of bryozoan assemblages in the reefs of the Vasalemma Formation (Late Ordovician), Estonia [PDF]
The reefs of the Vasalemma Formation, late Sandbian, Late Ordovician, of northern Estonia contain an exceptionally rich and abundant bryozoan fauna. They are an example of contemporaneous bryozoan-rich reefs known from around the world, representing the ...

Searching for the Ordovician–Silurian boundary in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania [PDF]
The present study focuses on determining the position of the lower boundary of the Silurian System in the eastern Baltic region. To achieve this, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of stable isotopic curves, combined with previously published data on ...

Age of the Ordovician sedimentary succession in Lumparn Bay, Åland Islands, Finland [PDF]
Depression of the ancient Lumparn meteorite impact structure in the à land Islands is partly infilled with the lower Palaeozoic sediments, lying presently below sea level. The Cambrian and Ordovician sedimentary cover is distributed in the area of 15 km2,

Oxygen isotope compositions of conodonts – analytical challenges of in situ SIMS studies [PDF]
Reliable deep-time environmental and climate reconstructions are needed to understand the drivers of Earthâs system evolution over geological time. Palaeozoic temperature estimates, including reconstructions of the climate change through the Ordovician,

Middle–Late Ordovician organic- walled phytoplankton from Sweden: diversity and early radiation [PDF]
The Borenshult-1 core, drilled in the vicinity of Motala, east of Lake Vättern in south central Sweden, comprises a well-dated and nearly complete succession of marine marly carbonates deposited relatively close to land. The 34 core samples analyzed for

AbstractLate Ediacaran opening of the Iapetus Ocean is typically considered to reflect separation of Baltica and Laurentia during final breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent, with subsequent closure during the Caledonian Orogeny. However, evidence of the pre‐opening juxtaposition of Baltica and Laurentia is limited to purportedly similar apparent polar

Provenance shift in Cambrian mid-Baltica: detrital zircon chronology of Ediacaran–Cambrian sandstones in Estonia [PDF]
In order to clarify the tectono-sedimentary history of Paleozoic Baltica, age spectra of detrital zircon grains from the Ediacaran (Kotlin Regional Stage) and Lower Cambrian sandstones (lowermost Lontova and Lükati formations) in western Estonia in ...

The appearance of Rosenella (stromatoporoid sponge) in Baltica: new species from the Pirgu Stage (Katian, Upper Ordovician) of Estonia [PDF]
The Katian Age, part of the Late Ordovician Epoch, was a period of significant stromatoporoid diversification. However, their fossil record is often less continuous, hindering our understanding of their diversity and diversification.
