The earliest cornulitid on the internal surface of the illaenid pygidium from the Middle Ordovician of Estonia [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2017 The earliest cornulitid Cornulites sp. appears in the Darriwilian (Lasnamägi Regional Stage) of Estonia. Internal annulation is present in all Middle Ordovician cornulitids and could be a plesiomorphic character for the group.

Cruziana traces from the Late Silurian (Pridoli) carbonate shelf of Saaremaa, Estonia [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014 Late Pridoli Cruziana traces have recently been found in carbonate shelf sediments of the Ohesaare Formation on Saaremaa Island, Estonia. Cruziana isp. is interpreted here as a locomotory trace (repichnia) of an arthropod, possibly a trilobite.
