Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Trilobite expansion into estuarine environments during the Ordovician radiation [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023
Trilobites have traditionally been considered fully marine. Through the integration of ichnological, palaeobiological and sedimentological datasets within a sequence-stratigraphic and strati­graphic palaeobiology framework, we challenge this assumption.

Moulting Patterns in Trilobites from the Devonian of Paraná Basin

open access: yesTerr@ Plural, 2021
In general, trilobites had their moulting performed by the breakdown of the librigena, a region (more external) situated on the cephalon of those animals.

Ontogenetic moulting behavior of the Cambrian oryctocephalid trilobite Arthricocephalites xinzhaiheensis [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
Moulting behaviors in trilobites are a crucial strategy during development. Previous studies have demonstrated inter-and intraspecific variability of moulting behavior in trilobites.

A new middle Cambrian trilobite with a specialized cephalon from Shandong Province, North China [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020
Trilobites achieved their maximum generic diversity in the Cambrian, but the peak of morphological disparity of their cranidia occurred in the Middle to Late Ordovician. Early to middle Cambrian trilobites with a specialized cephalon are rare, especially

Polyatomic trilobite Rydberg molecules in a dense random gas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Trilobites are exotic giant dimers with enormous dipole moments. They consist of a Rydberg atom and a distant ground-state atom bound together by short-range electron-neutral attraction. We show that highly polar, polyatomic trilobite states unexpectedly

Advances in the Lower Ordovician of the western Iberian Chain, NE Spain [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023
The western Iberian Chain of NE Spain represents a lateral prolongation of the West Asturian-Leonese Zone. As other proximal sectors fringing NW Gondwana, the chain comprises a con­formable and continuous Furongian‒Tremadocian transition, comprising a

Taphonomy of non-biomineralized trilobite tissues preserved as calcite casts from the Ordovician Walcott-Rust Quarry, USA

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Trilobites with appendages from the Rust Formation of New York State were discovered in the 1870s and represent one of the earliest known cases of exceptional preservation of non-biomineralized tissues.

On the lower boundary of the Floian Stage in Estonia [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2012
The lower boundary of the Second Stage of the Lower Ordovician Series, the Floian Stage, is defined by the first appearance of the graptolite Tetragraptus approximatus.
