Tracking the Hirnantian Glaciation Using Os Isotopes

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Science Letters, 2010
article i nfo Article history: Here we present initial 187 Os/ 188 Os (Osi) values integrated with δ 13 Corg for the first Paleozoic section — the Ordovician/Silurian boundary GSSP at Dob's Linn, Scotland. Our 187 Os/ 188 Os data tracks major changes in climate that occurred during the Late Ordovician (Hirnantian glaciation), which coincides with the ...

Hirnantian Sea-Level Changes in the Baltoscandian Basin, a Review

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2020
Abstract Correlation of Hirnantian sections of the Baltoscandian Basin reveals four major transgressive-regressive sea-level cycles related to waxing and waning of ice sheets at high Southern Hemisphere paleolatitudes. The correlation between stratigraphic members in Estonia and Latvia shows transgressions-regressions in the first half of the ...

Hirnantian (Late Ordovician) Brachiopod Faunas Across Baltoscandia: A Global and Regional Context

open access: yesPalaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2016
A diverse, typical Hirnantia brachiopod fauna from terminal Ordovician strata in Latvia extends the distribution of the Kosov Province across much of the Baltic Palaeoplate into the deeper-water facies of the East Baltic.

Taphonomy of exceptional sponge preservation in the Hirnantian Anji Biota, China

Journal of the Geological Society, 2022
The Anji Biota is a unique deposit with exceptionally preserved sponges and other organisms in deep-water, uppermost Ordovician mudstone of Zhejiang Province, China. The sponge fossils preserve remarkable details including carbonaceous preservation of soft tissues and axial filaments of spicules, but the taphonomy of the deposit has not previously been

Steep oceanic DIC δ13C depth gradient during the Hirnantian Glaciation [PDF]

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews
The Hirnantian carbon isotopic excursion (HICE) was characterized by a positive δ13C excursion (up to ∼ + 7‰) of oceanic dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC).

The End-Ordovician Glaciation and the Hirnantian Stage: A Global Review and Questions About Late Ordovician Event Stratigraphy

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2010
This paper proposes a global review of Hirnantian event stratigraphy. The Hirnantian GSSP in south China is tentatively correlated with latest Ordovician strata from the peri-Gondwanan "glacial" regions.

A global synthesis of the latest Ordovician Hirnantian brachiopod faunas

Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Earth Sciences, 1988
ABSTRACTA global review of new and existing data on the distribution of uppermost Ordovician (Hirnantian) brachiopods indicates the existence of at least three biogeographically distinct faunas. The typical Hirnantia fauna characterised subtropical and temperate latitudes and comprised a variety of ecological associations; the fauna reached its acme ...

Environmental changes in the Hirnantian (upper Ordovician) of the Prague Basin, Czechoslovakia

Geological Journal, 1989
AbstractSedimentary sequences through the uppermost Ordovician (Hirnantian), Kosov Formation, are described. The Kosov Formation is a shale‐dominated formation with two thin horizons of sandy diamictites near the base and two ‘flysch’ units separated by shales forming the main part of the formation, which is overlain abruptly by Silurian graptolitic ...

Pre‐Hirnantian Ashgill climatically warm event in the Mediterranean region

Lethaia, 2003
Compilation of the marine, benthic megafossils from approximately the mid-Ashgill of the Mediterranean region, including much of Central and Southern Europe plus North Africa, and elsewhere indicates a warm interval featuring bioclastic limestone and a warm climate marine fauna.
