TL;DR: In this article, integrated sequence stratigraphic, biostratigraphic and chemostratigrammy analyses of three stratigraphraphic sections in central Nevada indicate that Late Ordovician glaciation-induced sea-level fall produced diachronous, stepwise faunal turnover in graptolites, conodonts, chitinozoans and radiolarians, and also triggered a strong, but transient, positive δ13C excursion.

TL;DR: The Anthropocene epoch as a formal unit of the geologic time scale has received extensive attention in scientific and public media as mentioned in this paper, however, most articles on the Anthropocene misrepresent the nature of the units of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart, which is produced by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS).

TL;DR: Gaucher, Claudio as mentioned in this paper, et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a study on the evolution of geology in the South American country of Uruguay, focusing on the geology of vegetation.

TL;DR: In this article, the Fagelsang section is proposed as a global boundary stratotype, which has excellent and well-known graptolite and conodont biostratigraphy in a stratigraphically continuous succession of uniform lithology.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the fate of graptolites, prominent Paleozoic zooplankton, during most of the Hirnantian mass extinction event, and find that the relatively complete extinction record is examined in the context of ecological constraints, and it is found to reflect an ecological collapse driven by glacio-eustatic sea level fall and associated changes in oceanic circulation.
