Silurian graptolite biostratigraphy of the Röstånga-1 drill core, Scania:a standard for southern Scandinavia [PDF]
The Rostanga-1 core from west-central Scania provides the most complete succession of the Sandbian (Upper Ordovician) through lower Telychian (Silurian, Llandovery) strata of southern Scandinavia. The Hirnantian is identified in the Kallholn Formation by

Metal enrichment in lithologically complex black shales: a case study from the Tremadocian of NE Estonia [PDF]
Significantly elevated U, Mo, Zn and Pb contents characterize the Early Ordovician black shales in the Sillamäe area, NE Estonia. The presence of silty interlayers with sulphidic mineralization and authigenic carbonates suggests unique physicochemical ...

Population structure of graptolite assemblages [PDF]
Graptolite rhabdosomes display a diverse suite of morphologies. The range of morphotypes present within most moderate to high diversity assemblages from the Ordovician and Silurian is similar, despite the different taxonomic composition of the faunas at ...

A new species of the problematic organism Webbyites from the Early Ordovician Fezouata Biota of Morocco [PDF]
The problematic colonial organism Webbyites has previously been considered to be a hydroid (phylum Cnidaria). In this paper, we describe a new species, Webbyites felix sp. nov., from the Early Ordovician Fezouata Konservat-Lagerstätte of Morocco.

Terrane evolution of the paratectonic Caledonides of northern Britain [PDF]
A stratigraphically constrained re-evaluation of terrane amalgamation in the Caledonides of northern Britain allows the development of a new orogenic scenario which accounts for many of the outstanding problems in the paratectonic Caledonides and ...
