Abstract The early Silurian (Llandovery) Gondwanan South Polar ice sheet experienced
episodes of ice retreat and re-advance. Marine base level curves constructed for the interval …

A near-continuous, highly dynamic record of Silurian climate has been determined from
conodont δ 18 O compositions (δ 18 O phos), representing stratigraphic sections from four …

The evolution of the Retiolitinae marks one of the most important events in the evolution of
the planktic graptolites (Graptoloidea), leading to a diversification of genera and species in …

Carbon, sulfur and oxygen isotope profiles in Silurian strata of the Baltoscandian Basin
(Estonia), coincident with the Ireviken Bioevent, provide insights into basin-scale and …

Abstract The Sommerodde-1 core from Bornholm, Denmark, provides a nearly continuous
sedimentary archive from the Upper Ordovician through to the Wenlock Series (lower …

The Silurian climate was volatile and punctuated by multiple short-lived climate events, each
associated with biotic crisis and perturbations to the global carbon cycle. In total, seven …

The first vertebrate-based subdivisions of Silurian strata were mainly drawn on material from
outcrops in Britain and drill cores from the southern Baltic. Nearly twenty years ago the first …

Forty six graptolite biozones and seven subzones are recognized in the first compilation of
high-resolution Silurian graptolite biostratigraphy in central Bohemia. The durations of these …

New stable isotope data from organic carbon (δ 13 C org) and inorganic elemental
geochemistry data have been generated from Upper Ordovician to Silurian strata in two …

Abstract The Ludlow Epoch (Silurian) was marked by several globally recognized but
mechanistically poorly understood biotic events. The most pronounced of them was the Lau …
