Abstract The current study presents new bed‐by‐bed brachiopod δ13C and δ18O records from Öland, Sweden, which together with previously published data from the East Baltic region, constitutes a high‐resolution paired brachiopod and bulk rock carbon and oxygen isotope archive through the Lower to Upper Ordovician successions of Baltoscandia.

ABSTRACT Bryozoan–stromatolite associations (bryostromatolites) formed conspicuous reef structures throughout the Sheinwoodian (Wenlock) to Ludfordian (Ludlow) stratigraphy on Gotland but have not been described so far. They are mainly composed of encrusting bryozoans forming a complex intergrowth with porostromate and spongiostromate microbes and are ...

Abstract Conodonts are an extinct group of early vertebrates. Articulated fossils of their feeding apparatus (‘natural assemblages’) are rare, and preserved soft tissues vanishingly so. Here, a primitive conodont with preserved soft tissues is redescribed from the Waukesha Lagerstätte of Wisconsin, USA.

Symmetry in graptolite zooids and tubaria (Pterobranchia, Hemichordata)
Abstract Extant and fossil pterobranchs show distinct symmetry conditions of the individual zooids and their tubaria that are not necessarily comparable. The strict bilateral symmetry in the zooids of extant Cephalodiscida is modified to a considerable anatomical asymmetry in extant Rhabdopleurida. This type of left–right asymmetry can be recognized as

Phylogenetic response of naraoiid arthropods to early–middle Cambrian environmental change
Abstract The Cambrian Period, primarily known for animal life diversifying, experienced global extinctions. Pulses of extinction in Cambrian Series 2 are exemplified by the disappearance of archaeocyath sponges and olenelline and redlichiid trilobites.

Ordovician graptolites from the basal part of the Palaeozoic transgressive sequence in the Karadere area, Zonguldak Terrane, NW Turkey [PDF]
The Karadere area to the east of Safranbolu in NW Anatolia is one of the very few localities in Turkey where the contact between the Cadomian basement and the Lower Palaeozoic transgressive succession is well exposed.

Amalgamation of the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks in the context of Gondwana assembly in the early Paleozoic has been addressed for decades, but the far-field effects on the Yangtze Block during the amalgamation remain unclear.

The Upper Tremadocian (Ordovician) graptoliteBryograptus: taxonomy, biostratigraphy and biogeography [PDF]
Abstract: The taxonomy, biostratigraphical and palaeogeographical distribution of the Lower Ordovician graptolite genus Bryograptus is evaluated. Bryograptus is recognized as a distinct triradiate anisograptid with a multiramous, pendent rhabdosome.

Trilobite expansion into estuarine environments during the Ordovician radiation [PDF]
Trilobites have traditionally been considered fully marine. Through the integration of ichnological, palaeobiological and sedimentological datasets within a sequence-stratigraphic and stratiÂgraphic palaeobiology framework, we challenge this assumption.

Broeggeria Walcott and other upper Cambrian and Tremadocian linguloid brachiopods from NW Argentina [PDF]
The Broeggeria assemblage is a peculiar brachiopod association that has been recorded mainly from Tremadocian black shales of Baltoscandia, the Anglo-Welsh Basin, Nova Scotia, South Urals and Kazakhstan.
