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.

AGE OF THE KINTEREP FORMATION OF THE NORTHWESTERN SALAIR: CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHY AND U-Pb ZIRCON DATING
A comprehensive study of the stratotype section of the Kinterep formation of the North-Western Salair was carried out, including geochemical and isotope (Sr, C, O) studies of carbonate rocks, and U-Pb dating (LA-ICP-MS) of igneous zircon crystals from ...

Geochemical and palaeontological evidence for the definition of the Silurian/Devonian boundary in the Changwantang Section, Guangxi Province, China [PDF]
Southern Guangxi Province is one of the important areas for the study of the Silurian/Devonian boundary (SDB) in South China. Despite attempts to define the exact level of the SDB in the Yulin (Guangxi Province) area using biostratigraphy, no consensus ...

Přídolí carbon isotope trend and upper Silurian to lowermost Devonian chemostratigraphy based on sections in Podolia (Ukraine) and the East Baltic area [PDF]
Insufficient knowledge of carbon isotope cycling in the latest Silurian initiated the study of two regions at the western and southwestern margins of Baltica in order to obtain a more complete picture about the carbon isotope trend through the Přídolí ...

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,
