Solid Earth Carbon Degassing and Sequestration Since 1 Billion Years Ago

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Solid Earth CO2 outgassing, driven by plate tectonic processes, is a key driver of carbon cycle models. However, the magnitudes and variations in outgassing are poorly constrained in deep‐time. We assess plate tectonic carbon emissions and sequestration by coupling a plate tectonic model with reconstructions of oceanic plate carbon reservoirs ...

Miospore assemblages from Late Ordovician (Katian-Hirnantian), Ghelli Formation, Alborz Mountain Range North-eastern Iran: Palaeophytogeographic and palaeoclimatic implications [PDF]

Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2016
Well-preserved miospore assemblages are recorded from the Late Ordovician (Katian-Hirnantian), Ghelli Formation in Pelmis-gorge at the north-eastern Alborz Mountain The palynomorphs were extracted from siliciclastic deposits which are well-dated by using

Composition and significance of the Katian (Upper Ordovician) conodont fauna of the Vaux Limestone (‘Calcaire des Vaux’) in Normandy, France [PDF]

Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014
Study of new conodont collections from the Vaux Limestone exposed at its classical locality at Saint-Hilaire-la-Gérard in the Sées syncline, the conodont fauna of which was previously described in a preliminary way by Weyant et al.

Bioturbators as ecosystem engineers in space and time

Palaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract Biogenic sedimentary structures offer a unique perspective for understanding the role of the biosphere in the interaction with other Earth subsystems and the building up of our planet. The record of their ancient equivalents provides a wealth of information for reconstructing the role of bioturbators as ecosystem engineers using multiple ...

A new method for predicting the shale distribution of the Wufeng Formation in the Upper Yangtze Region, China

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2020
Taking the Late Ordovician Wufeng Formation (WFF) shale in the Upper Yangtze region as an example, we conducted a lithofacies distribution, thickness quantification, and paleo-topographic reconstruction of the Late Ordovician graptolite zones ...

Late Ordovician and early Silurian virgianid and stricklandioid brachiopods from North Greenland: implications for a warm‐water faunal province

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 1, January/February 2024.
Abstract An unusually rich and diverse suite of virgianid brachiopods, hitherto poorly known, is systematically described here for the first time from the Ordovician–Silurian boundary interval (late Katian – Aeronian) of North Greenland. The Late Ordovician virgianids comprise typical taxa of the warm‐water Tcherskidium fauna (e.g.

Orbital and Millennial‐Scale Cycles Through the Hirnantian (Late Ordovician) in Southern China

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract The Hirnantian period, making the end of the Ordovician with significant mass extinctions and large ice‐sheets, is a critical interval for studying paleoclimate variations. This research represents the first cyclostratigraphic study of this period, utilizing high‐resolution (1 mm sampling rate) geochemical data from the ∼7‐m thick SH‐1 drill ...

Comparative Analysis of Shale Gas Enrichment and High Yield Geological Conditions of Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation and Qiongzhusi Formation in Southern Sichuan Basin

Geofluids, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Wufeng–Longmaxi Formation and Qiongzhusi Formation are the significant shale gas exploration strata in China. The former has made a major breakthrough, and the exploration of the latter is restricted. At present, it shows good exploration potential in the Qiongzhusi Formation.

Astronomical control on upper ordovician – lower silurian organic matter enrichment in South China

Frontiers in Earth Science
Astronomical forcing governed Late Ordovician–Early Silurian climate dynamics, yet high-resolution Astronomical Time Scales (ATS) and organic enrichment mechanisms during the end-Ordovician extinction remain poorly constrained.
