Sequence stratigraphy, chemostratigraphy and facies analysis of Cambrian Series 2 – Series 3 boundary strata in northwestern Scotland [PDF]
Globally, the Series 2 – Series 3 boundary of the Cambrian System coincides with a major carbon isotope excursion, sea-level changes and trilobite extinctions.

Latest Ordovician age of the Spinachitina fragilis Chitinozoan Biozone in Baltoscandia [PDF]
The global Spinachitina fragilis Chitinozoan Biozone has been considered the lowermost Silurian zone in most publications. S. fragilis was first described from the Ohesaare drill core, Estonia, and utilised as a Baltic regional zonal taxon together with ...

Chemostratigraphy of Upper Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) sequences from the Southern North Sea (United Kingdom) [PDF]
Important gas reservoirs occur in the Upper Carboniferous coal measures and red beds of the Southern North Sea. The thick red beds of the Boulton and Ketch formations are difficult to correlate, due to poor internal seismic definition, repetitive e-log ...

ORGANIC GEOCHEMICAL ASSESSMENT AND SHALE GAS POTENTIAL OF LOWER SILURIAN ORGANIC RICH SHALE IN THE GHADAMES BASIN, NORTH AFRICA; pp. 337–352 [PDF]
The Silurian organic rich shale is the main source of hydrocarbons in the Ghadames Basin in North Africa. The basin has been widely characterized as a source rock for Ordovician oil and gas; yet understanding this shale as a shale resource play remains ...

A Cenozoic-style scenario for the end-Ordovician glaciation [PDF]
The end-Ordovician was an enigmatic interval in the Phanerozoic, known for massive glaciation potentially at elevated CO2 levels, biogeochemical cycle disruptions recorded as large isotope anomalies and a devastating extinction event.
