In the past 15 years our picture of the Silurian has changed dramatically. Based on
palaeontological, geochemical, and sedimentological investigations, it is now known that the …

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 …

The new standard conodont zonation includes, in succession from below: Lower Ps. bicornis
Zone, Upper Ps. bicornis Zone, Lower P. procerus Zone, Upper P. procerus Zone, Lower K …

One hundred and seventy-two non-luminescent brachiopod shells from the Silurian
sequence of Gotland were investigated for their carbon and oxygen isotopic composition …

Integrated graptolite, conodont and chitinozoan biostratigraphical data is presented from the
Rhuddanian through to lower Sheinwoodian of the Aizpute-41 core, Latvia. Correlation of …

A global Chitinozoan biozonation for the Silurian Period is proposed. Each biozone is an
interval range defined by the first occurrence of an index species, selected from well-defined …

Biotic and sedimentological cycles in the late Silurian are closely similar to those recognized
in the early Silurian. They are explained here by alternations between primo and secundo …

Sedimentary-exhalative (sedex) ore deposits were formed by discharge of metal-rich brines
into ancient ocean basins. Chemical, isotopic, and geologic data from several Paleozoic …

Graphic correlation using graptolites and conodonts provides a high-resolution timescale for
correlating from coastal to deep oceanic sections and, thereby, also a detailed record of the …

Summary The Silurian of Gotland is characterized by repeated changes in depositional
facies development. The deposition of uniform sequences of micritic limestones and marls …
