Climatically the Silurian was a most unstable period, as it is shows several strong d 13 C
excursion, with the Lau excursion being the strongest short-lived positive d 13 C excursion …

This thesis treats the Silurian carbonate platforms of Gotland, Sweden, which formed close
to the equator within the East Baltic Basin. Three different time intervals, all involving …

The Silurian is characterized by several extinction events, among them the late Ludfordian
Lau event, which mainly affected conodont and graptolite communities. This event was …

During IGCP 503 it became more and more evident that the Silurian represents a period of
major climatic changes, faunal overturns, drastic sea-level fluctuations and platetectonic …

Recent and ancient carbonate platforms are major marine ecosystems, built by various
carbonate-secreting organisms with different sensitivity for environmental change. For this …

Ratios of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in brachiopod shells (more than 370
specimens, esp. Atrypa reticularis) from the Silurian of Gotland, Sweden, have been …

The Mulde event was one of several significant turnover events during the Silurian. This
event is mostly recognized in the fossil record of graptolites and conodonts, as well as stable …

The Silurian is characterised by strong environmental changes, as indicated by several
pronounced positive δ13C and δ18O excursions. The mechanisms responsible for these …

For a long time, the Silurian was thought to represent a time of stable environmental
conditions in the greenhouse period that followed the Late Ordovician glaciation. During the …

This paper investigates a time interval within the Late Ludfordian (Late Silurian), involving
changes in faunal composition (the Lau Event), a major positive carbon isotope excursion …
