The Late Ordovician extinction conundrum [PDF]
The Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME) has long been known for its association with the Hirnantian glaciations. Two extinction pulses seem to reflect global cooling and warming, respectively. The effects climate change had on Ordovician life are well

Late Ordovician beachrock as a far-field indicator for glacial meltwater pulse [PDF]
Understanding ancient climate changes is hampered by the inability to disentangle trends in continental ice volume from records of relative sea-level change. As a unique coastal deposit in tropical and subtropical regions, beachrock has been proved to be

A diverse Hirnantian scolecodont assemblage from northern Estonia and resilience of polychaetes to the end-Ordovician mass extinction [PDF]
We report the discovery of a rich assemblage of latest Katian and Hirnantian scolecodonts (polychaete jaws) from a new OrdovicianâSilurian boundary outcrop in the Reinu quarry, northern Estonia.

Evidence for cryptic molting behavior in the trilobite Toxochasmops vormsiensis from the Upper Ordovician Katian Kõrgessaare Formation, Estonia. [PDF]
Documentation of cryptic trilobite behavior has presented important insights into the paleoecology of this fully extinct arthropod group. One such example is the preservation of trilobites inside the remains of larger animals.

Middle–Late Ordovician organic- walled phytoplankton from Sweden: diversity and early radiation [PDF]
The Borenshult-1 core, drilled in the vicinity of Motala, east of Lake Vättern in south central Sweden, comprises a well-dated and nearly complete succession of marine marly carbonates deposited relatively close to land. The 34 core samples analyzed for

Global palaeogeographical implication of acritarchs in the Upper Ordovician [PDF]
The EarlyâMiddle Ordovician peri-Gondwana and Baltica acritarch provinces are easily recognizable, illustrating a clear provincialism of global phytoplankton.

A multiproxy study of the Puhmu core section (Estonia, Upper Ordovician): consequences for stratigraphy and environmental interpretation [PDF]
A multiproxy study of the Katian and Hirnantian in the Puhmu core in NE Estonia resulted in new data on chitinozoan and brachiopod biostratigraphy. Some mass occurrences of dasycladacean algae are tied to small early Katian ‘reefs’.

Subway into the Ordovician (Prague Basin, Czech Republic) [PDF]
In the Late Ordovician, the Prague Basin was located at the high-latitude northwestern shelf of Gondwana. This period was characterised by profound environmental changes and ended by one of the most severe mass extinctions, which was caused by climatic ...

Age of the Ordovician sedimentary succession in Lumparn Bay, Åland Islands, Finland [PDF]
Depression of the ancient Lumparn meteorite impact structure in the à land Islands is partly infilled with the lower Palaeozoic sediments, lying presently below sea level. The Cambrian and Ordovician sedimentary cover is distributed in the area of 15 km2,

City Rhythms: Urban Mobility Relations in Ho Chi Minh City
Abstract Moving beyond a rhythmanalysis approach to banal mobilities and diurnal journey making – commuting, visiting, shopping, leisure – this paper explores how place‐dependent forms of transport shape the feel and flow of the city. Theorizing the city as polyrhythmic reveals multiple traces of local/global and past/present in the socio‐historically ...
