Abstract
Abstract The Late Ordovician mass extinction was one of the five outstanding mass extinctions in Earth history. It was caused by environmental changes linked to exceptionally large climatic shifts and resulted in a massive elimination of species, but no major lasting changes in ecological structure or evolutionary direction.
