Elucidating how environmental change can facilitate the differentiation of evolutionary lineages and the establishment of new species is a critical issue for understanding both the history of life and modern biota. Notably, speciation events are known to be the main drivers of bio - diversification; thus, generating well-constrained phylogenetic hypotheses to investigate speciation processes and facilitators can provide key data on links between biogeography, speciation, and diversification. During the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE), articulate brachiopods were a key group on the rise. By the Middle to Late Ordovician, the brachiopod order Atrypida was no exception. The atrypids diversified greatly and established evolutionary novelties such as helical and calcite-supported lophophores. The Ordovician epi - continental seas in eastern Laurentia provided an excellent environment for reproductive isolation and speciation, with sea-level fluctuations, ideal climate conditions, and active tectonic settings. However, speciation patterns and drivers within two widely-distributed atrypid sub - families, Anazyginae ( Anazyga spp. and Zygospira spp. ) and Catazyginae ( Catazyga spp. ) , remain poorly known. In this project, we seek to develop a robust phylogenetic framework for these clades and use that framework to evaluate speciation processes and facilitators during the Late Ordovician. Morphological data will be collected from published

This contribution reviews the newly revised biostratigraphy of Middle–Upper Ordovician marine shelf successions from the Junee–Narromine Volcanic Belt in central New South Wales, based on conodont studies from four areas covering the northern, central and southern sectors of the Belt. Seven conodont biozones ranging from the middle Darriwilian ( Histiodella holodentata-Eoplacognathus pseudoplanus Biozone) to the lower Katian ( Taoqupognathus blandus Biozone) are recognized in the Billabong Creek Formation exposed in the Gunningbland area. This includes the first known biostratigraphic succession in Australia that extends continuously from the middle Darriwilian to the basal Sandbian. These new data are crucial for a better understanding of the geological evolution of this region in central New South Wales, and for the enhanced correlation of Ordovician rocks throughout the Macquarie Volcanic Province, which hosts substantial porphyry Cu–Au mineral deposits.

The western Iberian Chain of NE Spain represents a lateral prolongation of the West AsturianLeonese Zone. As other proximal sectors fringing NW Gondwana, the chain comprises a con formable and continuous Furongian‒Tremadocian transition, comprising a thick (3600‒4500 m) Lower Ordovician sedimentary succession, exclusively composed of siliciclastic strata and deposited in mid-latitude (temperate) waters. Although the shelly fossil record is not abun dant, some key trilobites and brachiopods allow the identification of distinct biogeographic links with the Argentinian margin of West Gondwana, Oaxaca (Mexico), and the neighbouring Montagne Noire (France), with which a common biostratigraphic biozonation can be en vis aged. Two phosphoritic interbeds rich in linguliformean brachiopods punctuate the Valconchán and Borrachón formations, and represent event beds related to condensation processes and sedimentation of explosive ignimbritic tuffs, respectively.

Black gas shales are major parts of many foreland-basin sequences and comprise important components of unconformity-bound tectophase cycles, which reflect sedimentary/stratigraphic, flexural responses to deformational loading and relaxation in an orogen. Using as examples Upper Ordovician black gas shales, deposited during the Taconian orogeny in the Appalachian Basin of the eastern United States, black-shale origins and their importance in understanding the tectonic framework are discussed. Foreland-basin black shales are clearly the product of distinctive tectonic frameworks and histories, and aside from economic value, may provide important controls on the timing and location of tectonic events.
