Marine biodiversity increased markedly during the Ordovician Period (~ 487–443 million
years ago). Some intervals within the Ordovician were associated with unusually rapid and …

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

The breakup of the L-chondrite parent body in the asteroid belt 466 million years (Ma) ago
still delivers almost a third of all meteorites falling on Earth. Our new extraterrestrial chromite …

Abstract The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) represents the greatest
increase in marine animal biodiversity ever recorded. What caused this transformation is …

Meso-Cenozoic evidence suggests links between changes in the expression of orbital
changes and millennia-scale climatic-and biotic variations, but proof for such shifts in orbital …

Tracking climatic changes throughout the Ordovician is crucial to a better understanding of
the coevolution of life and environment on Earth. Ordovician climate fluctuations have been …

The breakup of the L-chondrite parent body (LCPB) in the mid-Ordovician is the largest
documented asteroid breakup event during the past 3 Gyr. It affected Earth by a dramatic …

A high-resolution chemostratigraphical (coupled δ13Ccarb and δ18Ocarb) study of the
topmost Floian through the middle Darriwilian (Ordovician) succession at the Hällekis …

The Silurian was a time of major climatic transition punctuated by multiple biotic crises and
global carbon cycle perturbations. The most severe of these biotic events was the late …

The Lanna area in the province of Närke, south-central Sweden, hosts a succession of cool-
water carbonate strata that are largely devoid of tectonic and diagenetic alteration, and span …
