Late Ordovician jawed polychaete fauna from the Spiti Valley, northern India [PDF]
The final part of the Ordovician Period was characterised by major perturbations in climate, environments and ecosystems, as proved by numerous studies. These changes resulted in one of the biggest extinctions in Earthâs history. Most research in early

Redefinition of the Sandbian–lower Katian conodont biozonation of Baltoscandia
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 ...
