Late Ordovician (Katian) Graptolites and Shelly Fauna from the Phu Ngu Formation, North-East Vietnam
Two new graptolite assemblages are identified from discrete intervals within the Phu Ngu Formation, Na Ri District, Bac Kan Province, north-east Vietnam. The graptolites occur in laminated mud/siltstones thought to be distal turbidite deposits.

Abstract Strophomenoid brachiopods had thin, concavo‐convex shells, were ubiquitous colonizers of Palaeozoic muddy seafloors, and are hypothesized to have filter‐fed in a concave‐upward orientation. This orientation would elevate their line of commissure out of potentially lethal lophophore‐clogging mud.

Revised stratigraphy of the middle Simcoe Group (Ordovician, upper Sandbian-Katian) in its type area: an integrated approach [PDF]
The Upper Ordovician Bobcaygeon Formation of southern Ontario is a widespread unit that spans the Sandbian-Katian stage boundary and contains exceptionally preserved invertebrate fossil assemblages, including the famed â Kirkfield echinoderm fauna.â ...

Abstract An unusually rich and diverse suite of virgianid brachiopods, hitherto poorly known, is systematically described here for the first time from the Ordovician–Silurian boundary interval (late Katian – Aeronian) of North Greenland. The Late Ordovician virgianids comprise typical taxa of the warm‐water Tcherskidium fauna (e.g.

Orbital and Millennial‐Scale Cycles Through the Hirnantian (Late Ordovician) in Southern China
Abstract The Hirnantian period, making the end of the Ordovician with significant mass extinctions and large ice‐sheets, is a critical interval for studying paleoclimate variations. This research represents the first cyclostratigraphic study of this period, utilizing high‐resolution (1 mm sampling rate) geochemical data from the ∼7‐m thick SH‐1 drill ...

A swollen crinoid pluricolumnal from the Upper Ordovician of northern Kentucky, USA: the oldest record of an amorphous paleopathologic response in Crinoidea? [PDF]
Swollen or otherwise malformed crinoid remains are relatively common in the Phanerozoic. However, published reports typically describe swellings associated with a discrete pit, boring, embedment structure or encruster, and, moreover, are overwhelmingly ...
