Abstract Two remarkable events in the history of life on the Earth occur during the Ordovician Period (486.9–443.1 Ma). The first is an exceptionally rapid and sustained radiation of marine life known as the ‘Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event’ (GOBE), and the second is a catastrophic Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME). Understanding the duration, rate and magnitude of these events requires an increasingly precise global correlation framework. In this chapter we review the major subdivisions of the Ordovician System, their Global Stratotype Section and Points, and the chronostratigraphic levels that define their bases. We also present a detailed set of correlation charts that illustrate the relationships between most of the regional graptolite, conodont and chitinozoan successions across the world.
ABSTRACT A laterally discontinuous sandstone at the south end of the Tellico-Sevier syncline in Blount County, Tennessee, was mapped in 1955 by Robert Neuman and in 1965 by Neuman and Willis Nelson of the U.S. Geological Survey as a “quartzite” that they considered to be the uppermost bed of the Bays Formation (Ordovician). On the basis of new mapping and conodont biostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy, and regional K-bentonite correlations, this sandstone, a distinctive quartz arenite, is reassigned to and correlated with the Clinch Sandstone (Silurian). At the Harrison Branch section (HBRA) in Blount County, in an exposure near the confluence of Harrison Branch and the Little Tennessee River, this sandstone underlies the Devonian Chattanooga Shale, and it overlies ~43 m of gray limestones and shales that are themselves above the red clastic and minor carbonate rocks of the Bays Formation. The limestones and shales between the Bays Formation and this sandstone crop out on a wooded hillside and were apparently not observed by Neuman and Nelson during their mapping of the region. We measured the HBRA section, collected 20 samples from the limestone interval, and processed them for conodonts. These limestones contain a definitive Late Ordovician (Katian) conodont fauna that includes Drepanoistodus suberectus , Plectodina tenuis , Panderodus gracilis , and Phragmodus undatus . On the basis of this fauna, the 40+ m of limestone between the youngest red beds of unequivocal Bays Formation (below) and the quartz arenite (above) can be assigned to the Ordovician P. tenuis zone or younger, making them correlative regionally with limestones of the Trenton Group. Using these new biostratigraphic data combined with existing tephrostratigraphic relations of Ordovician K-bentonites, we identify the overlying sandstone at the HBRA section as an erosional outlier of the Silurian Clinch Sandstone, and we correlate the Ordovician-Silurian-Devonian unconformities at these two localities, which are now better constrained, with unconformities A through F in the Silurian and Devonian of this region, as identified and described in detail at several exposures north and northwest of the Tellico-Sevier syncline, most prominently at outcrops near Wytheville, Seven Mile Ford, and Max Meadows in southwest Virginia, where Devonian strata unconformably overlie Ordovician strata.

Biostratigraphy and Chronostratigraphy of the Cambrian–Ordovician Great American Carbonate Bank
Abstract The carbonate strata of the great American carbonate bank (GACB) have been subdivided and correlated with ever-increasing precision and accuracy during the past half century through use of the dominant organisms that evolved on the Laurentian platform through the Cambrian and the Ordovician. Trilobites and conodonts remain the primary groups used for this purpose, although brachiopods, both calcareous and phosphatic, and graptolites are very important in certain facies and intervals. A series of charts show the chronostratigraphic units (series and stages) currently in use for deposits of the GACB and the biostratigraphic units (zones, subzones, and biomeres) whose boundaries delineate them. Older and, in some cases obsolete, stages and faunal units are included in the figures to allow users to relate information from previous publications and/or industry databases to modern units. This chapter also provides a brief discussion on the use of biostratigraphy in the recognition and interregional correlation of supersequence boundaries within the Sauk and Tippecanoe megasequences, and the varied perspectives on the nature of biostratigraphic units and their defining taxa during the past half century. Also included are a concise update on the biomere concept, and an explanation of the biostratigraphic consequences of a profound change in the dynamics of extinction and replacement that occurred on the GACB in the Early Ordovician when the factors responsible for platformwide biomere-type extinctions faded and ultimately disappeared. A final section addresses recent and pending refinements in the genus and species taxonomy of biostrat-igraphically significant fossil groups, the potential they hold for greatly improved correlation, and the obstacles to be overcome for that potential to be realized.
