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

The appearance of Rosenella (stromatoporoid sponge) in Baltica: new species from the Pirgu Stage (Katian, Upper Ordovician) of Estonia [PDF]
The Katian Age, part of the Late Ordovician Epoch, was a period of significant stromatoporoid diversification. However, their fossil record is often less continuous, hindering our understanding of their diversity and diversification.

Heliolitines are a major tabulate coral group, which experienced their early diversification in the Katian (Late Ordovician). Fossils of this group are well represented in the Kuruktag area of northeastern Tarim Basin, Northwest China, but detailed ...

The poor preservation state of chitinozoans recovered from samples of the La Pola (Sandbian–Katian) and Don Braulio formations (Hirnantian-Llandovery), after being processed with standard methods, required significant modifications in processing. The sodium hexametaphosphate technique was used to avoid invasive mechanical procedures.

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

δ13C chemostratigraphy in the upper Tremadocian through lower Katian (Ordovician) carbonate succession of the Siljan district, central Sweden [PDF]
Based on δ13C data from two drillcores recovered from the Siljan district, we present a first continuous carbon isotope record of the upper Tremadocian–lower Katian limestone succession of central Sweden.

Abstract Biostratigraphic characterization of the Upper Ordovician in the Cincinnati region is complicated by several issues including provincialism of conodonts and graptolites, their facies dependence, the lack of biostratigraphical resolution for conodonts, and the absence of graptolites from many sections. Our

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Changes in the morphology of Late Ordovician ostracods along the shelf-to-basin transect of the Baltic Palaeobasin [PDF]
The present work analyses the numerical distribution data of ostracods in the Late Ordovician (Katian) deposits of Estonia for establishing trends in carapace morphology along a facies profile from a shallow shelf to a deep basin.
