Nacre in Molluscs from the Ordovician of the Midwestern United States

Geosciences, 2013
Nacre was previously thought to be primitive in the Mollusca, but no convincing Cambrian examples are known. This aragonitic microstructure with crystal tablets that grow within an organic framework is thought to be the strongest, most fracture-resistant

Depositional and stratigraphic evolution of a Permian megalake system: Implications for seiche‐influenced models

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.
During the Late Permian, the rise of the Gondwanides Belt trapped marine waters, giving birth to a vast megalake. This lake shifted between overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled stages that are recorded by high‐frequency accommodation changes, while meteorological seiches shaped the sedimentary dynamic and produced heterolithic beds.

Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

Evolution of the Ordovician top boundary and its relationship to reservoirs' development, Ordos Basin

Petroleum Exploration and Development, 2012
The control of structural evolution on the development of different types of Ordovician reservoirs in the Ordos Basin is discussed by studying the evolution of the Ordovician top boundary in geological times, and the mechanisms of formation and evolution

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 200-225, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.

The late Ordovician Soom Shale Lagerstätte: an extraordinary post-glacial fossil and sedimentary record

Journal of the Geological Society, 2016
Fossils of the Late Ordovician Soom Shale Lagerstätte are characterized by exceptional preservation of their soft tissues in clay minerals. The low-diversity community lived in an unusual cold-water setting, dominated by anoxic bottom waters, in the ...

Global Comparison of Aqueous Geochemistry and Dissolved H2/CH4 in Continental Low Temperature Serpentinization–Influenced Environments

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 3, March 2026.
Conceptual diagram of hydrological and geochemical processes within the Santa Elena Ophiolite, Costa Rica. It highlights watershed cross‐sections, soil genesis, hyperalkaline Type II waters (pH > 11.6) with calcite crust and trapped H2/CH4 gases, seepage into surface waters, storm‐impacted stream profiles, weathered vs.
