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 ...

Chitinozoan biozonation in the upper Katian and Hirnantian of the Welsh Basin, UK
AbstractHere we present a chitinozoan biostratigraphical framework for the South Wales upper Katian and Hirnantian (Ashgill) succession. The current study indicates that three of the six Avalonian Ashgill chitinozoan biozones are recognised in the Welsh Basin; the bergstroemi, fossensis and umbilicata biozones.

Pathways and mechanisms of Late Ordovician (Katian) faunal migrations of Laurentia and Baltica [PDF]
Late Ordovician strata within the Cincinnati Basin record a mass faunal migration event during the C4 and C5 depositional sequences. The geographic source region for the invaders and the paleoceanographic conditions that facilitated dispersal into the ...

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 ...

Three-dimensionally preserved siphuncle in an actinoceratid cephalopod from the late Katian of Bohemia [PDF]
The Ordovician to Carboniferous cephalopods of the order Actinoceratida (Teichert, 1933) are distinguished from all other cephalopods by their large siphuncles, which typically contain heavy, calcareous deposits enclosing a complex system of canals ...

Upper Sandbian–lower Katian bio- and chemostratigraphy in the Pajevonys-13 core section, Lithuania [PDF]
The succession of five formations (Auleliai, Vilučiai, Alvitas, Šakiai, Jakšiai) corresponding to the upper Sandbian and lower Katian in southern Lithuania is dated based on new bio- and chemostratigraphical data from the Pajevonys-13 core section.
