Chemostratigraphy of Neoproterozoic carbonates: implications for ‘blind dating’ [PDF]
The δ13Ccarb and 87Sr/86Sr secular variations in Neoproteozoic seawater have been used for the purpose of ‘isotope stratigraphy’ but there are a number of problems that can preclude its routine use. In particular, it cannot be used with confidence for ‘blind dating’.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Chemostratigraphy of the Pliensbachian, Puesto Araya Formation (Neuquén Basin, Argentina) [PDF]
In a preliminary attempt to establish an isotope stratigraphy, strontium, carbon and oxygen isotope ratios were determined from marine biogenic carbonates of Pliensbachian age, in the context of scheme of local ammonite Zones correlatable to the European

Localized and Transient Oxygenation of Shallow Oceans of Southwestern Laurentia at the Ediacaran-Cambrian Boundary. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary, which precedes one of the most significant biotic diversification events in Earth's history, is associated with a global negative carbon isotope excursion termed the BAsal Cambrian carbon isotope Excursion (BACE).

An integrative biostratigraphic, chemostratigraphic, and sequence stratigraphic perspective of the Ordovician–Silurian boundary on Anticosti Island (Canada) [PDF]
Anticosti Island, Canada, has long been recognized as an exceptional OrdovicianâSilurian boundary succession with the potential to serve as one of the best records of climatic, oceanographic, and biological events associated with the Late Ordovician ...

Ordovician climate changes in the northern subtropics: The δ18O record from the Tunguska Basin, Siberia [PDF]
Oxygen isotopes from bioapatite (conodonts) have been used for several decades to reconstruct the Palaeozoic climate history. During the Ordovician, conodont-based δ18Ophos studies have revealed a general cooling trend throughout the system.

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,
