Graptolite turnover and δ13Corg excursion in the upper Wenlock shales (Silurian) of the Holy Cross Mountains (Poland)

Geologica Carpathica, 2019
The mid–late Homerian Age of the Silurian Period was a time of intense changes in biota, oceanic chemistry, and sea level and is known as the lundgreni extinction (for the graptolite extinctions), the Mulde bioevent (for the conodont turnover event) or ...

Tectonics, geology and origins of Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 531-567, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia is a 95% submerged, five million square km southern hemisphere continent that includes the islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia. For the last 45 million years (Ma) Zealandia has been cut by the Pacific‐Australian plate boundary which today changes character from a west‐dipping subduction zone in the north to ...

Interstipe webbing in the Silurian graptolite Cyrtograptus murchisoni and its palaeobiological significance. [PDF]

, 1995
Although it has long been recognized that the Graptoloidea constituted a diverse group of planktic organisms, the precise hydrodynamics of the various colony morphotypes has been a source of debate.

Mercury Deposition in South China Across the Ordovician‐Silurian Transition: Implications for Climate Change

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Most of the global climate changes are closely associated with volcanic activity. However, the link between global cooling during the Ordovician‐Silurian (O‐S) transition and volcanism remains unclear due to limited constraints on large volcanic events before, during, and after the peak of the Hirnantian glaciation (PHG). Here, we present high‐

Re-Understanding the Sedimentary Environment of the Wufeng–Longmaxi Shales in the Sichuan Basin

Applied Sciences
The current understanding of organic matter enrichment in marine shales remains highly controversial. Most scholars argue that deeper water environments and warmer climates facilitate the enrichment of organic matter.
