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 …

Global biodiversity has been punctuated throughout the Phanerozoic by extinction events
that vary in their degree of intensity and devastation. The mass extinction event that occurred …

Three tectonic events affected the northern margin of Laurentia between Early Ordovician
and Early Devonian time. Each tectonic cycle started with an unconformity followed by rapid …

Network and frequency distribution analyses of global brachiopod occurrences in the
earliest Silurian (Rhuddanian–Aeronian) revealed that brachiopod recovery from the end …

Clements Markham fold belts of Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada, were conducted to …

The uppermost Ordovician–lowermost Silurian (Upper Katian–Rhuddanian) is surveyed with
respect to the α‐and β‐diversity of rhynchonelliformean brachiopods. The survey is based …

The last phase of the end-Ordovician extinction event involved substantial sea-level
