About this title - A Global Synthesis of the Ordovician System: Part 1

David A. T. Harper, Bertrand Lefèbvre, I. G. Percival, Thomas Servais

Abstract

The Ordovician is one of the longest and geologically most active periods in Phanerozoic history. The unique Ordovician biodiversifications established modern marine ecosystems, whereas the first plants originated on land. The two volumes cover all key topics on Ordovician research and provide a review of Ordovician successions across the globe.
