The climatic significance of Late Ordovician-early Silurian black [PDF]
The Ordovician-Silurian transition (455-430 Ma) is characterized by repeated climatic perturbations, concomitant with major changes in the global oceanic redox state best exemplified by the periodic deposition of black shales.

Detrital-zircon geochronology and provenance of the Ocloyic synorogenic clastic wedge, and Ordovician accretion of the Argentine Precordillera terrane [PDF]
The Precordillera terrane in northwestern Argentina is interpreted to be anexotic (Laurentian) continental fragment that was accreted to western Gondwanaduring the Ordovician. One prominent manifestation of the subductionand collision process is a Middle?

Middle–Late Ordovician organic- walled phytoplankton from Sweden: diversity and early radiation [PDF]
The Borenshult-1 core, drilled in the vicinity of Motala, east of Lake Vättern in south central Sweden, comprises a well-dated and nearly complete succession of marine marly carbonates deposited relatively close to land. The 34 core samples analyzed for

Hirnantian (latest Ordovician) bio- and chemostratigraphy of the Stirnas-18 core, western Latvia [PDF]
Integrated study of the uppermost Ordovician Porkuni Stage in the Stirnas-18 core, western Latvia, has revealed one of the most complete Hirnantian successions in the eastern Baltic region.

Trans-Atlantic application of the Baltic Middle and Upper Ordovician carbon isotope zonation [PDF]
Application of the recently introduced Baltic d13C isotope zonation to a composite North American Darriwilian through Hirnantian succession shows that in most intervals there is good trans-Atlantic agreement not only between the isotope zones but also ...

Chronostratigraphy and geochronology: a proposed realignment [PDF]
We propose a realignment of the terms geochronology and chronostratigraphy that brings them broadly into line with current use, while simultaneously resolving the debate over whether the Geological Time Scale should have a “single” or “dual” hierarchy of

Hirnantia sagittifera (Brachiopoda) and Mucronaspis mucronata s.l. (Trilobita) in the Upper Ordovician of the East Baltic: taxonomy and distribution [PDF]
The brachiopod Hirnantia sagittifera (M’Coy) and trilobite morphs of the genus Mucronaspis from the topmost Ordovician Porkuni Stage of the central East Baltic are described and compared with those from the Hirnantian Stage of other regions.

Parallel positive excursions of organic carbon (δ13Corg) and pyrite sulfur (δ34Spy) isotopes occurred globally during the Hirnantian glacial period. However, the reasons for these isotope excursions and their relationship with paleoenvironmental dynamics
