More about the Ordovician–Silurian transition beds at Mirny Creek, Omulev Mountains, NE Russia: carbon isotopes and conodonts [PDF]
Profound environmental and biodiversity changes take place in the Ordovician–Silurian boundary interval. The Mirny Creek and Neznakomka River bank sections discussed in this paper expose the upper Katian–lower Rhuddanian part of the boundary beds.

The position of graptolites within Lower Palaeozoic planktic ecosystems. [PDF]
An integrated approach has been used to assess the palaeoecology of graptolites both as a discrete group and also as a part of the biota present within Ordovician and Silurian planktic realms.

Silurian bentonites in Lithuania: correlations based on sanidine phenocryst composition and graptolite biozonation – interpretation of volcanic source regions [PDF]
Integrated correlation of bentonites (altered volcanic ashes) and graptolite biozonation is presented. Detailed study of two Lithuanian drill core sections extended previous knowledge of the occurrence and composition of bentonites to the south ...

Distribution pattern of the Ordovician black shale constrained by graptolite zonation in the western margin of the Ordos Block, North-West China [PDF]
The graptolitic shale from the late Middle to early Late Ordovician along the western margin of the Ordos Block is a good target bed for shale gas exploration.
