Clay mineralogy, chemistry, and diagenesis of late devonian K-bentonite occurrences in northwestern Turkey [PDF]
Thin beds of tephra (K-bentonites) formed by the diagenesis of volcanic ash are exposed within the limestone-dolomitic limestone successions of the Yilanli formation at Zonguldak and Bartin in northwestern Turkey.

Mercury spikes suggest volcanic driver of the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction
The second largest Phanerozoic mass extinction occurred at the Ordovician-Silurian (O-S) boundary. However, unlike the other major mass extinction events, the driver for the O-S extinction remains uncertain.

Detrital-zircon geochronology and provenance of the Ocloyic synorogenic clastic wedge, and Ordovician accretion of the Argentine Precordillera terrane [PDF]
The Precordillera terrane in northwestern Argentina is interpreted to be anexotic (Laurentian) continental fragment that was accreted to western Gondwanaduring the Ordovician. One prominent manifestation of the subductionand collision process is a Middle?

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 ...
