Ordovician paleogeography and the evolution of the lapetus ocean by MacNiocaill, C, vanderPluijm, B, VanderVoo, R

“…Paleomagnetic data from northern Appalachian terranes identify several arcs within the lapetus ocean in the Early to Middle Ordovician, including a peri-Laurentian arc at ∼10°-20°S, a peri-Avalonian arc at ∼50°-60°S, and an intra-oceanic arc (called the Exploits arc) at ∼30°S. …”

Cosmopolitan arthropod zooplankton in the Ordovician seas by Vannier, J, Racheboeuf, P, Brussa, E, Williams, M, Rushton, A, Servais, T, Siveter, D

“…Evidence is presented here for a zooplanktonic component in Ordovician marine ecosystems, namely the caryocaridid arthropods, that add to other well-documented midwater organisms such as graptolites, cyclopygid and telephinid trilobites, orthoconic cephalopods and the microphytoplankton (e.g. acritarchs). …”

An evo-devo perspective on no Ordovician land plants by Paul K. Strother

“…This results in a re-assessment of what is meant by the presence of land plants in the Ordovician landscape. The new model helps to reconcile discrepancies between molecular time-trees and the âmissingâ record of fossil plants during the Ordovician Period.…”
