Abstract Heterostracans are pivotal in examining the evolution of feeding and the head in jawed vertebrates as the stem‐gnathostomes in which the oral apparatus is more commonly preserved. However, most analyses of their feeding, especially recent studies using modern 3D imaging methods, have focused on a specific subgroup, the Pteraspidiformes ...

Early Ordovician (Tremadocian and Floian) graptolites from the Than Sa Formation, northeast Vietnam
The lower Palaeozoic marine succession of NE Vietnam accumulated on the South China plate. Despite historical works dating to French colonial times, the stratigraphy and palaeontology of the succession is poorly constrained.

Revisiting the Hummeln structure, Sweden—A shallow marine Cambrian impact structure
Abstract Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south‐eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln‐1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process.

Palaeoscolecids from the early Cambrian Guanshan biota, Yunnan Province, China
Abstract Palaeoscolecidomorphs (Palaeoscolecida and Cricocosmiidae) are widespread early Palaeozoic worms crucial to understanding the early evolution of Ecdysozoa. They are well known from the early–middle Cambrian of the Yangtze Platform of South China, but research has disproportionately focused on the well‐known Cambrian Stage 3 Chengjiang biota of

Abstract The Australian Cambrian stratigraphic record is one of the most complete for any continent. However, there is a general division, with older Cambrian rocks in South Australia (predominantly Terreneuvian, Stage 2 to Miaolingian, Wuliuan) and younger rocks in northern Australia (mostly latest Series 2, Stage 4 and younger), with minimal ...

A new genus of middle Tremadocian orthoceratoids and the Early Ordovician origin of orthoceratoid cephalopods [PDF]
The cephalopods of the subclass Orthoceratoidea, which are termed “orthoceratoids” herein, are a group that remains “the last unexplored wilderness in the Cephalopoda” (Flower 1962: 23).

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.

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
