Lower Wenlock black shales in the northern Holy Cross Mountains, Poland: Sedimentary and geochemical controls on the Ireviken Event in a deep marine setting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The stratigraphic variability and geochemistry of Llandovery/Wenlock (L/W) Series boundary sediments in Poland reveals that hemipelagic sedimentation under an anoxic/euxinic water column was interrupted by low density bottom currents or detached diluted ...

A new euarthropod from the Soom Shale (Ordovician) Konservat‐Lagerstätte, South Africa, with exceptional preservation of the connective endoskeleton and myoanatomy

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
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 ...

The late Ordovician Soom Shale Lagerstȁtte: an extraordinary post-glacial fossil and sedimentary record [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fossils of the Late Ordovician Soom Shale Lagerstätte are characterized by exceptional preservation of their soft tissues in clay minerals. The low-diversity community lived in an unusual cold-water setting, dominated by anoxic bottom waters, in the ...

Late Ordovician ironstone and its relation to ocean redox instability, climate and glaciation

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 631-665, February 2025.
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 ...

δ13C chemostratigraphy of the Middle and Upper Ordovician succession in the Tartu-453 drillcore, southern Estonia, and the significance of the HICE [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014
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.

An Ordovician Assemblage of Cool Water‐Adapted Paleotropical Ostracods Suggests an Early Psychrosphere

open access: yesIsland Arc, Volume 34, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
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 ...

High potential for weathering and climate effects of non-vascular vegetation in the Late Ordovician [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It has been hypothesized that predecessors of today’s bryophytes significantly increased global chemical weathering in the Late Ordovician, thus reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration and contributing to climate cooling and an interval of glaciations ...

Solid Earth Carbon Degassing and Sequestration Since 1 Billion Years Ago

open access: yesGeochemistry, 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 ...

New data on acritarchs from the Upper Ordovician of the Tungus basin, Siberian Platform [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014
Distinctive late Ordovician acritarch assemblages have been discovered for the first time from about a 100 m sedimentary succession exposed along the Bol¢shaya Nirunda River in Siberia.

Subaerial speleothems and deep karst in central Sweden linked to Hirnantian glaciations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Geological Society, 2015
The limestones of the upper Katian Boda mud mounds (Ordovician) of the Siljan district in central Sweden are deeply fractured. The fissures were partly synsedimentary and are often lined with stromatolite-like crusts. These crusts thus far are the only known subaerial Ordovician speleothems.
