They precisely determined the absolute ages of the Katian–Hirnantian boundary (442.65+0.17/−0.23 Ma) and the Ordovician–Silurian boundary (442.33+0.34/−0.33 Ma), constraining the duration ...

It's a description that seems at odds with paleogeology textbooks’ account of the Ordovician. The 45-million-year-long period is characterized there as a time of flourishing biodiversity.

Rich brachiopod fossils dating back 470 million years to the Ordovician period were discovered in Zigui county, Central China’s Hubei Province. Experts suggest these fossils provide evidence for ...

Though not as advanced as what we have now, Ordovician life was more developed than that of the Cambrian period. The Ordovician organisms included articulate brachiopods, corals, bryozoans, gastropods ...

Columnar architectures, developed in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods, are highly biologically controlled and organic-matrix mediated, which sheds new light on the evolution and ...

eLife assessment. This valuable study examines the evolution of the pillars in the shell architecture of organo-phosphatic brachiopods. The phylogenetic implications of this shell structure in ...

During her time at Stony Brook University, she worked with the FIRST Lab (Facility for Isotope Research and Student Training) where she mostly worked with boron isotopes of Ordovician brachiopods. At ...
