Late Ordovician mass extinction: A new perspective from stratigraphic sections in central Nevada

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.

An ecologic model for conodonts
George Seddon,Walter C. Sweet +1 more
TL;DR: A general ecologic model for conodonts as small planktonic animals, different species of which were segregated by vertical stratification, fits distributional data for several Ordovician and Devonian faunas better than an alternative model in which some types were pelagic and others benthonic or restricted to a near-shore environment.
