Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 247-262., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The Irish Ordovician brachiopod fauna: A taxonomic renaissance [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Despite its small areal extent, the island of Ireland exposes eight Caledonian tectonic terranes; six of them contain Ordovician brachiopod assemblages. These terranes record the early phases and destruction of the Iapetus Ocean through the occurrence of

Evolution of prototype basin and change of tectonic-sedimentary pattern in Paleozoic, Ordos Basin
Shiyou shiyan dizhi, 2022 The Ordos Basin is a craton basin developed based on the Precambrian rift system during Permian. It has experienced two stages of evolution including the Early Paleozoic craton marginal depression and Late Paleozoic intra-craton depression.

The earliest known stromatoporoid and its contribution to reef construction [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Stromatoporoid-type hypercalcified sponges are known to have contributed to the global reef system since the late Middle Ordovician until their major disappearance in the latest Devonian.

The earliest cornulitid on the internal surface of the illaenid pygidium from the Middle Ordovician of Estonia [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2017 The earliest cornulitid Cornulites sp. appears in the Darriwilian (Lasnamägi Regional Stage) of Estonia. Internal annulation is present in all Middle Ordovician cornulitids and could be a plesiomorphic character for the group.

The tarphyceratid cephalopod Trocholites in the Middle–Upper Ordovician of the Prague Basin —the Baltican element in peri-Gondwana [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 The vast majority of cephalopods of the order Tarphyceratida are known from regions that were located at mid- or low palaeolatitudes during the Ordovician (mainly Baltica, Laurentia, and Chinese palaeoblocks).

Late Ordovician Palynomorphs [PDF]
Journal of Micropalaeontology, 1985 Abstract. ACRITARCHSOrdovician acritarchs have been recorded in five core samples collected between 2520 ft. and 3000 ft. in Well E1-81, and ten cutting samples taken between 12150 ft. and 13240 ft. in Well J1-81A. All the assemblages recovered are of Late Ordovician age; no Early Ordovician or Middle Ordovician assemblages have been identified ...

Putative Late Ordovician land plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2018 The colonization of early terrestrial ecosystems by embryophytes (i.e. land plants) irreversibly changed global biogeochemical cycles (Berner & Kothavala, 2001; Berner et al., 2007; Song et al., 2012). However, when and how the process of plant terrestrialization took place is still intensely debated (Kenrick & Crane, 1997; Kenrick et al., 2012 ...

Was there more space in the late Early Devonian for marine biodiversity to peak than in the early Late Ordovician?: A brief note [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2013 After the so-called “Cambrian explosion”, marine biodiversity peaked either in the early Late Ordovician (as shown by the “classical” curves based on the extensive palaeontological data compilation) or in the late Early Devonian (as shown by the
