Centimetre-scale variability of redox-sensitive elements in Tremadocian black shales from the eastern Baltic Palaeobasin [PDF]
The high-resolution study of vertical geochemical variability of shallow-water Tremadocian black shales of the Türisalu Formation targeted two drill core sections from Suur-Pakri Island, NW Estonia.

ABSTRACT An ostracod assemblage from the Late Ordovician (Katian) Phu Ngu Formation of northern Vietnam, South China paleoplate, yields typical Baltic and Laurentian‐affinity genera together with some endemic forms. Detailed paleontological and sedimentary analysis of the Phu Ngu Formation suggests it was deposited in a deeper marine forearc setting ...

Distribution of phosphorus in the Middle and Upper Ordovician Baltoscandian carbonate palaeobasin [PDF]
Baltoscandian Middle and Upper Ordovician carbonate rocks are relatively poor in phosphorus, with the P2O5 content of 0.05–0.5%, rarely exceeding 1%. Phosphorus distribution in the Ordovician carbonate succession shows spatial and temporal variations. In

Abstract New Floian and early middle Darriwilian brachiopod assemblages of the San José Formation of the Eastern Cordillera of Peru are presented. A new genus and species, Apurimella santiagoi, and two new species, Phragmorthis henrylunae and Nocturnellia ashaninka, are described.

Biostratigraphy of Acritarchs and Chitinozoans in Ordovician Strata from the Fazel Abad Area, Southeastern Caspian Sea, Alborz Mountains, Northern Iran: Stratigraphic Implications [PDF]
Sixty-four surface samples from the Lower Palaeozoic rock units (mainly Lalun,Abastu and Abarsaj formations) near Kholin-Darreh village in the Fazel Abad area,southeastern the Caspian Sea, Northern Iran, were analyzed to determine their agerelationships.

New group of the Early Palaeozoic conodont-like fossils [PDF]
The paper is devoted to the Upper Cambrian and Tremadocian organophosphatic microfossils which were hitherto treated as conodonts and assigned mainly to the genera Coelocerodontus and Viirodus.

How to engineer a habitable planet: the rise of marine ecosystem engineers through the Phanerozoic
Abstract Ecosystem engineers are organisms that modify their physical habitats in a way that alters resource availability and the structure of the communities they live in. The evolution of ecosystem engineers over the course of Earth history has thus been suggested to have been a driver of macroevolutionary and macroecological changes that are ...

Cambrian to Lower Ordovician acritarchs and Lower Ordovician conodont species have been recorded from the Furuhäll Section at Köpingsklint on Öland, Sweden. The acritarchs are represented by three different microfloras.

Abstract The documentation of cuticular micro‐ornament is vital for the taxonomic assignment of palaeoscolecids: vermiform lower Palaeozoic ecdysozoans interpreted as stem‐group priapulans or early diverging panarthropods. This is due to the absence of the character‐rich proboscis and tail hooks in palaeoscolecid material not from Burgess Shale‐type ...

Abstract The Cambro‐Ordovician interval marks a significant transition from extinction to bio‐diversification in deep time. However, the relationship of bio‐transition to volcanism, commonly characterized by mercury (Hg) systematics in sedimentary records, has not been examined.
