There developed thick gypsum-salt strata in the Lower Paleozoic Ordovician in the Ordos Basin, particularly gypsum-salt in the 6th segment of the 5th member of Majiagou Fm (O1m56) in a wide distribution, serving as a good regional cap.

The Durness Group of NW Scotland: a stratigraphical and sedimentological study of a Cambro-Ordovician passive margin succession [PDF]
The Cambrian to Ordovician Durness Group was deposited on the Scottish sector of the passively-subsiding, continental margin of the Laurentian craton, and now forms part of the Hebridean terrane, lying to the west of the Moine Thrust zone.

Did lingering ice sheets moderate anoxia in the early Palaeozoic of Libya?
The Hirnantian glaciation of West Gondwana produced a glacially sculpted topography, which is draped by organic-rich latest Ordovician and early Silurian ‘hot shales’.

Rare earth geochemistry of Arenig cherts from the Ballantrae Ophiolite and Leadhills Imbricate Zone, southern Scotland: implications for origin and significance to the Caledonian Orongeny [PDF]
Rare earth element (REE) data from low to mid-Arenig cherts are used to test competing models for the early Ordovician evolution of the Laurentian margin in the northern British Isles.

On the Upper Ordovician unconformity in the Pyrenees
In recent years, contradictory reports about whether or not an unconformity exists at the base of the Upper Ordovician succession of the Pyrenees have been made. In the Cerdanya area (Central Pyrenees), good outcrop evidence for this unconformity is displayed at the base of the Rabassa conglomerates.

Abstract The collisional evolution of the micro‐blocks in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is relatively well constrained. However, the reason why a fragment of the North China Block, the Olongbuluke Block, became separated from North China by the Central Qilian Block (a fragment of the South China Block) remains unclear.
