Fossilized soft tissues in Palaeozoic bryozoans
Abstract Thin sections of three Palaeozoic bryozoans reveal fossilized soft tissues that show the position of organic cuticle and internal structures such as the membranous sac and gut. The fossilization occurred apparently due to fast burial under anoxic conditions.

Redefinition of the Sandbian–lower Katian conodont biozonation of Baltoscandia [PDF]
Abstract Recent development in the Upper Ordovician conodont biostratigraphy of Baltoscandia highlights the mismatch between the traditionally used conodont zonation and ranges of the eponymous species. Practical application of the zonation is further complicated by the fact that the morphology of the long-ranging species Amorphognathus tvaerensis ...

Abstract The current study presents new bed‐by‐bed brachiopod δ13C and δ18O records from Öland, Sweden, which together with previously published data from the East Baltic region, constitutes a high‐resolution paired brachiopod and bulk rock carbon and oxygen isotope archive through the Lower to Upper Ordovician successions of Baltoscandia.

The only known cyclopygid–‘atheloptic’ trilobite fauna from North America: the upper Ordovician fauna of the Pyle Mountain Argillite and its palaeoenvironmental significance [PDF]
The trilobite fauna of the upper Ordovician (middle Katian) Pyle Mountain Argillite comprises a mixture of abundant mesopelagic cyclopygids and other pelagic taxa and a benthic fauna dominated by trilobites lacking eyes.

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.

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 ...

Climate change and the selective signature of the Late Ordovician mass extinction [PDF]
Selectivity patterns provide insights into the causes of ancient extinction events. The Late Ordovician mass extinction was related to Gondwanan glaciation; however, it is still unclear whether elevated extinction rates were attributable to record ...

ABSTRACT Bryozoan–stromatolite associations (bryostromatolites) formed conspicuous reef structures throughout the Sheinwoodian (Wenlock) to Ludfordian (Ludlow) stratigraphy on Gotland but have not been described so far. They are mainly composed of encrusting bryozoans forming a complex intergrowth with porostromate and spongiostromate microbes and are ...
