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.

Lower Palaeozoic source rocks in Manjiaer Sag, Tarim Basin
Considering its vertical distribution characteristics, this article argues that the Lower Palaeozoic source rock in the Manjieer Sag is composed of three sets of source rocks of Middle-Lower Cambrian, Middle-Lower Ordovician, and Upper Ordovician.

Subway into the Ordovician (Prague Basin, Czech Republic) [PDF]
In the Late Ordovician, the Prague Basin was located at the high-latitude northwestern shelf of Gondwana. This period was characterised by profound environmental changes and ended by one of the most severe mass extinctions, which was caused by climatic ...

High resolution carbon isotope stratigraphy of the basal Silurian stratotype (Dob's Linn, Scotland) and its global correlation [PDF]
Since its designation as the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Silurian System, the choice of Dob's Linn, Southern Scotland, has received criticism due to the difficulties of relating its well constrained graptolite ...

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
