Organic pores play an important role in shale reservoirs. Organic pores occur where shale gas was produced and accumulated. However, there is little scientific understanding of the distribution and connectivity of organic pores. Organic pore types and their structural characteristics were studied using a total organic carbon (TOC), thin section ...

The pore structure characterization and its controlling factors in overmature shales are keys to understand the shale gas accumulation mechanism. Organic matter in source rocks is a mixture of various macerals that have their own specific evolutionary pathways during thermal maturation. Pores within macerals also evolve following their own path.

Microfossils in the Ordovician erratic boulders from Southwestern Finland [PDF]
Chitinozoans, ostracods and acritarchs found in four glacially transported limestone boulders from the south-western coast of Finland have been studied in order to test the usefulness of these microfossil groups in age determinations. Also rare specimens

Geochemistry and correlation of volcanic ash beds from the Rootsiküla Stage (Wenlock–Ludlow) in the eastern Baltic [PDF]
Nine altered volcanic ash samples from the shoal and lagoonal sediments of the Rootsiküla Stage (Wenlock–Ludlow boundary interval, Estonia) were analysed, compared and correlated with five samples of deep sea environments from Latvia.

A summary and revision of the East Baltic Silurian chitinozoan biozonation [PDF]
The biostratigraphical data on the East Baltic Silurian chitinozoans are summarized. Based on the study of nine East Baltic drill cores, 28 regional chitinozoan zonal units, including 26 biozones and 2 interzones, are briefly characterized. In comparison

Darriwilian (Middle Ordovician) conodont biostratigraphy in NW Estonia [PDF]
Darriwilian conodonts have been studied in numerous sections of Baltoscandia, but few data are available from the classical outcrop area in northern Estonia. In this paper we report the succession of Darriwilian conodonts and chitinozoans from the bed-by-

Abstract Variations in depositional rates affect the temporal depositional resolutions of proxies used for paleoenvironmental reconstructions; for example, condensation can make reconstructed environmental changes appear very abrupt. This is commonly addressed by transforming proxy data using age models, but this approach is limited to situations where

Possible metazoan egg fossils from the Darriwilian (Middle Ordovician) of Baltoscandia [PDF]
The Baltoscandian lower Palaeozoic succession is well known for the abundance, diversity and excellent preservation of various groups of microfossils, such as acritarchs, chitinozoans, scolecodonts and conodonts.

Ordovician geology and stratigraphy of China: A synthesis [PDF]
China presently comprises several tectonic blocks and regions assembled over geological time and having independent histories. During the Ordovician, these blocks included South China, North China, Tarim, Qaidam, Junggar, Qiangtang-Qamdo, Lhasa and ...

A new chitinozoan species from the Middle Ordovician of Estonia [PDF]
A new species Baltochitina delicata is formally defined. This rare species has been identified in the Aseri Regional Stage (Darriwilian) in North Estonian sections. The genus Baltochitina was known so far only by a single species B. nolvaki, which occurs
