First report of an aulaceratid stromatoporoid from the Ordovician of Baltica [PDF]
The aulaceratid stromatoporoids first appeared in the late Middle Ordovician and had achieved a worldwide distribution in tropical to subtropical shallow-marine environments by the Late Ordovician; however, their presence in Baltica has not been ...
