Chronostratigrahy of Acritarchs and Chitinozoans from upper Ordovician Strata from the Robat-e Gharabil Area, NE Alborz Mountains, Northern Khorassan Province: Stratigraphic and Paleogeographic Implications [PDF]
The Palaeozoic rock units mainly, Ghelli, Niur, Padeha, Khoshyeilagh and Mobark formations are well-exposed in the north of Robat-e Gharabil village. 116 out of 157 surface samples were analyzed to determine aged relationships of Ghelli Formation.

Early–Middle Ordovician chitinozoans from the Dawan Formation, Yichang area, Central China [PDF]
The late Early to early Middle Ordovician is a key interval for chitinozoan macroevolution, during which chitinozoans diversified significantly, reaching their first enormous radiation later in the Darriwilian.

LOWER TO MIDDLE ORDOVICIAN ACRITARCHS AND CHITINOZOANS FROM NORTHERN KARAKORUM MOUNTAINS, PAKISTAN
The lower Vidiakot section (Chitral, Pakistan) comprises the lower part (Yarkhun Formation and the base of the Vidiakot Formation) of the terrigenous complex transgressively overlying the crystalline basement of Northern Karakorum.

Late Ordovician scolecodonts and chitinozoans from the Pin Valley in Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, northern India [PDF]
The end of the Ordovician witnessed major perturbations in the ecosystem, seriously affecting global marine biodiversity. Nevertheless, some marine organism groups and their crisis-bound palaeogeographic distribution are still understudied.

The role of clay minerals in the preservation of Precambrian organic‐walled microfossils
Abstract Precambrian organic‐walled microfossils (OWMs) are primarily preserved in mudstones and shales that are low in total organic carbon (TOC). Recent work suggests that high TOC may hinder OWM preservation, perhaps because it interferes with chemical interactions involving certain clay minerals that inhibit the decay of microorganisms.

Abstract New δ34Spy (pyrite) and δ34SCAS (carbonate‐associated sulfate) across the Llandovery‐Wenlock boundary (∼432 Ma) provide evidence for the expansion of reduced marine environments during the Ireviken Biogeochemical Event. This event consists of a major positive carbon isotope excursion, increased biotic turnover, and other major perturbations ...

Abstract The Ordovician (Hirnantian; 445 Ma) hosts the second most severe mass extinction in Earth history, coinciding with Gondwanan glaciation and increased geochemical evidence for marine anoxia. It remains unclear whether cooling, expanded oxygen deficiency, or a combination drove the Late Ordovician Mass Extinction (LOME).

The Mora 001 and Solberga 1 drill cores provide the best available overview on the early Silurian (Llandovery, Rhuddanian to Telychian) graptolite succession available for the Siljan Ring impact structure of central Sweden. The Solberga 1 succession includes a nearly complete graptolite succession from the Pernerograptus revolutus Biozone (late ...

Upper Sandbian–lower Katian bio- and chemostratigraphy in the Pajevonys-13 core section, Lithuania [PDF]
The succession of five formations (Auleliai, Vilučiai, Alvitas, Šakiai, Jakšiai) corresponding to the upper Sandbian and lower Katian in southern Lithuania is dated based on new bio- and chemostratigraphical data from the Pajevonys-13 core section.
