Abstract Widespread organic‐rich shales are associated with perturbations in productivity or preservation conditions; however, the major controlling factors, especially the phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) interactions and their impacts on organic carbon burial in the paleolake ecosystem remain poorly understood.

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‐

The Hirnantian is an important time in Earth history as it includes one of the major episodes of continental glaciation and marine mass extinction (e.g. Brenchley et alii, 1994).

Abstract A new exceptionally preserved euarthropod, Keurbos susanae gen. et sp. nov. from the Upper Ordovician Soom Shale Konservat‐Lagerstätte of South Africa, is described herein. Two specimens exhibit an unusual preservation style such that the cuticular exoskeleton is preserved in low relief but retains high‐fidelity details, whereas the internal ...

δ13C chemostratigraphy of the Middle and Upper Ordovician succession in the Tartu-453 drillcore, southern Estonia, and the significance of the HICE [PDF]
The δ13C isotope data from the Tartu-453 core section in southern Estonia enabled creation of a continuous Ordovician carbon isotope record, ranging from the Floian to the end of the Hirnantian.

Late Ordovician ironstone and its relation to ocean redox instability, climate and glaciation
Abstract The Upper Ordovician (Katian) Neda Formation, a phosphatic ironstone, records a widespread but short‐lived shift to ferruginous waters across a vast epicontinental area. Lithofacies and stratigraphic reappraisal indicate that Neda ironstone deposition occurred on a storm‐dominated ramp when coastal upwelling emplaced eutrophic ferruginous ...

ABSTRACT An ostracod assemblage from the Late Ordovician (Katian) Phu Ngu Formation of northern Vietnam, South China paleoplate, yields typical Baltic and Laurentian‐affinity genera together with some endemic forms. Detailed paleontological and sedimentary analysis of the Phu Ngu Formation suggests it was deposited in a deeper marine forearc setting ...
