Hirnantian (Late Ordovician) brachiopod faunas across Baltoscandia: A global and regional context (2015)
Journal Article
Harper, D., & Hints, L. (2016). Hirnantian (Late Ordovician) brachiopod faunas across Baltoscandia: A global and regional context. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 444, 71-83. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2015.11.044

A diverse, typical Hirnantia brachiopod fauna from terminal Ordovician strata in Latvia extends the distribution of the Kosov Province across much of the Baltic Palaeoplate into the deeper-water facies of the East Baltic. The new data emphasise the c... Read More about Hirnantian (Late Ordovician) brachiopod faunas across Baltoscandia: A global and regional context.

Ordovician Gastropoda from Northeast Greenland (2015)
Journal Article
Rohr, D., Harper, D., Stouge, S., & Christiansen, J. (2015). Ordovician Gastropoda from Northeast Greenland. Bulletin of Geosciences (On-line), 90, 795-805. https://doi.org/10.3140/bull.geosci.1566

Nine gastropod genera are described from the Ordovician (upper Ibexian portion) of the Narwhale Sound Formation of Hudson Land in Northeast Greenland. The gastropods have Laurentian affinities, and eight of the Greenland genera described here also oc... Read More about Ordovician Gastropoda from Northeast Greenland.

Trace fossils from the lower Cambrian Kløftelv Formation, Ella Ø, North-East Greenland (2015)
Journal Article
Jensen, S., Harper, D., & Stouge, S. (2016). Trace fossils from the lower Cambrian Kløftelv Formation, Ella Ø, North-East Greenland. GFF, 138(3), 369-376. https://doi.org/10.1080/11035897.2015.1076029

Relatively large burrows with crudely-developed spreiten, some arranged in a zig-zag pattern, occur in the Kløftelv Formation, Ella Ø, North-East Greenland. These trace fossils, tentatively identified as Teichichnus isp., are associated with sediment...

Neogene echinoids from the Cayman Islands, West Indies: regional implications (2015)
Journal Article

The first fossil echinoids are recorded from the Cayman Islands. A regular echinoid, Arbacia? sp., the spatangoids Brissus sp. cf. B. oblongus Wright and Schizaster sp. cf. S. americanus (Clark), and the clypeasteroid Clypeaster sp. are from the Midd... Read More about Neogene echinoids from the Cayman Islands, West Indies: regional implications.

In deep water: a crinoid–brachiopod association in the Upper Oligocene of Antigua, West Indies (2015)
Journal Article
Donovan, S., Harper, D., & Portell, R. (2015). In deep water: a crinoid–brachiopod association in the Upper Oligocene of Antigua, West Indies. Lethaia: An International Journal of Palaeontology and Stratigraphy, 48(3), 291-298. https://doi.org/10.1111/let.12105

Extant brachiopods and stalked crinoids are found together in the deeper waters of the Caribbean Sea. Analogous brachiopod/crinoid associations have been reported from diverse palaeoenvironments in the Neogene of the region. Studied examples include...

Lower and Middle Ordovician conodonts of Laurentian affinity from blocks of limestone in the Rosroe Formation, South Mayo Trough, western Ireland and their palaeogeographic implication (2015)
Journal Article
their palaeogeographic implication. Geological Journal, 51(4), 584-599. https://doi.org/10.1002/gj.2659

The Middle Ordovician Rosroe Formation consists of some 1350 m of coarse, mainly siliciclastic to volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks, deposited in a submarine fan environment, and is restricted to the southern limb of the South Mayo Trough, western Ire...

Rhynchonelliformean brachiopods, belonging to 17 genera, are described from the East Baltic Porkuni Regional Stage, correlated with the global Hirnantian Stage. The brachiopod genera Paromalomena, Proboscizambon?, Kinnella, Drabo-via, and Coolinia, w...
