The Pisanyi Kamen’ section on the Un'ya River, Northern Urals, from the Lower Asselian stratigraphic interval is the central part of a succession of skeletal mounds that are composed of biocementstones. Palaeoecological analysis allows the pioneer stages of the ecological succession, representing the stabilisation and colonisation stages, to be ...

Ostracods from Upper Ordovician (Katian) carbonate lithofacies in southwest Scotland
AbstractThe Ordovician Craighead Limestone Formation of southwest Scotland was formed on a carbonate platform on the eastern tropical margin of the Laurentia palaeocontinent during the early Katian (c.456 Ma). It yields the most diverse and well-preserved ostracod fauna yet recovered from the Scottish Ordovician succession, with some 25 species ...

Discovery of trimerellide brachiopod Gasconsia from the Ordovician of Estonia [PDF]
In this study, the first trimerellide brachiopods from Estonia are described. They occur in the uppermost Katian (Upper Ordovician) shallow shelf environments and represent some of the largest Ordovician brachiopods.

Allogenic succession in Late Ordovician reefs from southeast China: a response to the Cathaysian orogeny [PDF]
Several Late Ordovician (late Katian) reef complexes are known from the border area of Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces in southeast China. We studied two coral–stromatoporoid reefs exposed in the Xiazhen Formation at Zhuzhai (Yushan, Jiangxi).

The climatic significance of Late Ordovician-early Silurian black [PDF]
The Ordovician-Silurian transition (455-430 Ma) is characterized by repeated climatic perturbations, concomitant with major changes in the global oceanic redox state best exemplified by the periodic deposition of black shales.

Ordovician climate changes in the northern subtropics: The δ18O record from the Tunguska Basin, Siberia [PDF]
Oxygen isotopes from bioapatite (conodonts) have been used for several decades to reconstruct the Palaeozoic climate history. During the Ordovician, conodont-based δ18Ophos studies have revealed a general cooling trend throughout the system.
