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

Precise chitinozoan dating of Ordovician impact events in Baltoscandia [PDF]
Abstract. The chitinozoan biostratigraphy of four Ordovician impact craters has been investigated. Three of these (Tvären, Kärdla and Lockne) contain complete sequences of early Caradoc age, while the Granby crater contains rocks of late Arenig age yielding two bentonitic horizons at their top. Chitinozoans, together with graptolites and other planktic

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.

Chitinozoans from the Telychian (Llandovery, Silurian) Shenxuanyi Member, upper Ningqiang Formation of the northwestern Yangtze Platform, China [PDF]
Silurian strata are well-developed in the northwest margin of Yangtze Platform. A total of 117 densely spaced argillaceous samples were taken from the Shenxuanyi Member, upper Ningqiang Formation to the lowermost Chejiaba Formation of the Majia section ...

Boundary between the Porkuni and Juuru regional stages in the Neitla section, Estonia [PDF]
Conodonts and chitinozoans were studied from the Neitla section, which exposes the boundary between the Porkuni and Juuru regional stages. This level, although not proved biostratigraphically, has been traditionally considered to correspond to the ...

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.

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 ...
