Changes in the morphology of Late Ordovician ostracods along the shelf-to-basin transect of the Baltic Palaeobasin [PDF]
The present work analyses the numerical distribution data of ostracods in the Late Ordovician (Katian) deposits of Estonia for establishing trends in carapace morphology along a facies profile from a shallow shelf to a deep basin.

The detailed Middle to early Late Ordovician faunal succession and δ13Ccarbon chemistry of the Kårehamn drill core, offshore eastern Öland, Sweden: implications for stratigraphy and correlation [PDF]
The Middle to lower Upper Ordovician stratigraphy of the KÃ¥rehamn core, drilled ca 7 km offshore to the east of the KÃ¥rehamn village, northeastern Ãland, is presented. The investigated core is one of four drill cores obtained during the preparation of

The earliest Ordovician trace fossils Cruziana and Rusophycus from Baltica [PDF]
Trace fossils of the ichnogenera Cruziana and Rusophycus are described for the first time from the Lower Ordovician of Baltica. These specimens were found from the upper Tremadocianâlower Floian glauconite sandstone of the Leetse Formation in the ...

Recent advances in the Ordovician stratigraphy of the Baltic Palaeobasin and Tornquist margin of Baltica [PDF]
Ordovician rocks are widely distributed in the Baltoscandian region as well as in Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova. The Ordovician studies in this area were initiated in the 19th century in the outcrop belt in northern Estonia.

Palaeozoic carbon isotope excursions and carbonate component analysis [PDF]
Palaeozoic carbonate δ13C studies have mainly focused on bulk rock analysis in chemostratigraphic correlations and palaeoenvironmental interpretations, assuming limited isotopic heterogeneity of samples.

Stratigraphy and facies differences of the Middle Darriwilian Isotopic Carbon Excursion (MDICE) in Baltoscandia [PDF]
The Middle Darriwilian Isotopic Carbon Excursion (MDICE) is a global isotopic event described in sections from different palaeocontinents. Here we present new stable carbon isotopic data from carbonates of ten sections in different parts of the ...

Coupled extinction–regression episodes revisited in mid-oceanic settings for comparative extinction study during the Palaeozoic in view of non-bolide extraterrestrial causes [PDF]
Major change in the Earthâs surface temperature appears to be the most critical and universal factor for inducing coevally multiple kill mechanisms for organisms during the global environmental change episodes.

During the Palaeozoic Era, plants conquered the land and covered greater and greater areas from coastal lowlands to highlands. Palaeobotanical data based on macroremains from Polish Palaeozoic strata complete and enrich the picture of these processes ...

Diversification and speciation among Laurentian brachiopods during the GOBE: insights from basinal and regional analyses [PDF]
Full understanding of diversity dynamics during the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) requires analyses that investigate regional and species-level data and patterns. In this study, we combine bedding-plane scale data on brachiopod species

Gold in biogenic apatites of the Baltic-Ladoga phosphorite basin
The distribution of gold in biogenic apatites from the Ordovician deposits in the northwest of the East European Platform shows that the maximum concentration of gold in apatites is found within the Ladoga-Baltic suture zone.
