Different controls on the Hg spikes linked the two pulses of the Late Ordovician mass extinction in South China [PDF]
The Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME, ca. 445 Ma; Hirnantian stage) is the second most severe biological crisis of the entire Phanerozoic. The LOME has been subdivided into two pulses (intervals), at the beginning and the ending of the Hirnantian ...

Katian (Upper Ordovician) conodonts from Wales [PDF]
Middle and upper Katian conodonts were previously known in the British Isles from relatively small collections obtained from a few localities. The present study is mainly based on 17 samples containing more than 17 000 conodont elements from an ...

A Cenozoic-style scenario for the end-Ordovician glaciation. [PDF]
The end-Ordovician was an enigmatic interval in the Phanerozoic, known for massive glaciation potentially at elevated CO2 levels, biogeochemical cycle disruptions recorded as large isotope anomalies and a devastating extinction event.

Conodont biostratigraphy of the Oandu Stage (Katian, Upper Ordovician) in NE Estonia [PDF]
Conodonts from the type region of the Oandu Regional Stage (Katian, Upper Ordovician) in NE Estonia were studied. Here, the lower boundary of the stage corresponds to a discontinuity surface at the base of the Hirmuse Formation and, in conodont ...
