The temporal and spatial distribution of Hirnantian brachiopod faunas are reviewed based
on a new, comprehensive dataset from over 20 palaeoplates and terranes, a revised …

The old terrane of Baltica occupies the mass of northern Europe eastwards to the Urals and
lies mostly to the north of the Trans-European Suture Zone. The core, the East European …

Abstract The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) was the most rapid and
sustained increase in marine Phanerozoic biodiversity. What generated this biotic response …

Profound changes in the biodiversity and biocomplexity of marine life occurred during the
early to mid-Ordovician through an interval of some 25 Myr. The planet's seascapes were …

Diversification is a key property of life. Building on John Phillips'(1860) classic, iconic curve,
Phanerozoic biodiversity trajectories have been based, subsequently, on the availability of …

Abstract The Ordovician of Scandinavia (ie Denmark, Norway and Sweden) has been
investigated for over two centuries and, through time, various chronostratigraphic schemes …

The Hirnantian (late Ordovician) environment was complex and dynamic. Understanding the
correct order of events and their precise correlation with a time scale are extremely important …

This paper summarizes recent knowledge on the palaeontology, biostratigraphy, correlation,
sea-level and climate history and isotopic geochemistry of the Ordovician rocks in the …

Abstract The Dapingian (Arenig) siltstones and sandstones of the Tagoat Group, County
Wexford, SE Ireland, contain a well-preserved and diverse brachiopod fauna including a …

The diversity of several groups of Late Ordovician fossils in the Baltic is discussed and
corresponding curves are presented. The curves are correlated with the latest δ13C trend …
