WOGOGOB was instigated by Maurits Lindström in 1986, and the history is chronicled briefly below. The meeting has over the years developed into one of the more important forums for integrated Baltoscandian research and collaboration, along with The Baltic Stratigraphic Conference and Lundadagarna. WOGOGOB 2007 is a field meeting, with excursions in the Siljan District and the Östersund area. The reason behind the choice of Rättvik and Östersund as the place for this gathering is twofold. Firstly the Sil­ jan District has a central place in Ordovician geology of Baltoscandia and indeed world wide. We are here thinking of reference sections for units in Sweden, standard conodont zones and even global palaeoclimate changes (e.g. the Boda event). Jämtland is central in WOGOGOB’s history as the area served as a meeting place for the intial meeting in 1986, and more recently renewed stratigraphical and sedimentological studies have demonstrated the importance of this area in regional geology. WOGOGOB 2007 is unique in that it brings together palaeontologists, sedimentologists, geochemists and stratigraphers with research efforts directed at the Ordovician of Baltoscandia primarily, but also with wider ramifications for Ordovician geology. The meeting is held in collaboration with, and is a contribution to IGCP project 503, Ordovician Palaeogeography and Palaeoclimate, which aims to develop a better under­ standing of the environmental changes that influenced the Ordovician biodiversification, the end­Ordovician extinction and the Silurian radiation (http://sarv.gi.ee./igcp503). WOGOGOB 2007 also serves as the Baltic regional team meeting for IGCP 503. Jan Ove R. Ebbestad, Linda M. Wickström, and Anette E.S.

Although it was declared dead by a couple of truly knowledgeable people a few days before and after this date, its survival into a third decade may be due, among other things, to the circumstance that a sufficient number of people would not just let such a quaint acronym expire. It stands for Working Group on Ordovician Geology of Baltoscandia. The idea of WOGOGOB was presented to a meeting of Palaeontologisk Klub (DGF) in Copenhagen on

    Trilobites of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation, lowermost Arenig) from the Oslo Region, Norway. Part Il: Remaining non-asaphid groups OLE A. HOEL Hoel, O. A.: Trilobites of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation, lowermost Arenig) from the Oslo Region, Norway. Part Il: remaining non-asaphid groups. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 79, pp. 259-280. Oslo 1999. ISSN 0029-196X. This is Part Il of a two-part description of the trilobite fauna of the Hagastrand Member (Tøyen Formation) in the Oslo, Eiker­ Sandsvær, Modum and Mjøsa areas. In this part, the non-asaphid trilobites are described, while the asaphid species have been described previously. The history and status of the Tremadoc-Arenig Boundary problem is also reviewed, and I have found no reason to insert a Hunnebergian Series between the Tremadoc and the Arenig series, as has been suggested by some workers. Descriptions of the localities yielding this special trilobite fauna are provided. Most of the 22 trilobite species found in the Hagastrand Member also occur in Sweden. The 12 non-asaphid trilobites described herein belong to the families Metagnostidae, Shumardiidae, Remopleurididae, Nileidae, Cyclopygidae, Raphiophoridae, Alsataspididae and Pliomeridae. One new species is described; Robergiella tjemviki n. sp. Ole A. Hoel, Paleontologisk Museum, Sars gate l, N-0562 Oslo, Norway. Introduction contemporaneous platform deposits in Sweden are domi­ nated by a condensed limestone succession. In Norway, the The Tremadoc-Arenig Boundary interval is a crucial point Tøyen Formation is divided into two members: the lower in the evolution of several invertebrate groups, especially among the graptolites and the trilobites. In the graptolites, this change consisted most significantly in the loss of bithekae and a strong increase in diversity.

Abstract Five taxa of the small trilobite genus Atractocybeloides are presented from Middle to Late Ordovician erratic boulders, includ- ing the new species Atractocybeloides nebeni n. sp. and Atractocybeloides oepiki n. sp. The genus was errected in 1991 on the basis of fragmentary material. It evolved from Cybele during Aseri-zone times. A reconstruction is made possible due to new finds and the rich material from the Rhebergen collection, including nearly complete cuticles of A. berneri. Furthermore, Atructopyge gracilis from Norway is assigned to Atractocybeloides. Strong similarities exist to the roughly coeval, small trilo- bite genus Cybeloides, which is known from North America.

Trace fossils from the Baltoscandian erratic boulders in SW Poland. Annales Societatis Geologorum Poloniae, 87: 229–257. Abstract: Many well preserved trace fossils were found in erratic boulders and the fossils preserved in them, occurring in the Pleistocene glacial deposits of the Fore-Sudetic Block (Mokrzeszów Quarry, Świebodzice outcrop). They include burrows (Arachnostega gastrochaenae, Balanoglossites isp., ?Balanoglossites isp., ?Chondrites isp., Diplocraterion isp., Phycodes isp., Planolites isp., ?Rosselia isp., Skolithos linearis, Thalassinoides isp., root traces) and borings ?Gastrochaenolites isp., Maeandropolydora isp., Oichnus isp., Osprioneides kamp- to, ?Palaeosabella isp., Talpina isp., Teredolites isp., Trypanites weisei, Trypanites isp., ?Trypanites isp., and an unidentified polychaete boring in corals. The boulders, Cambrian to Neogene (Miocene) in age, mainly came from Scandinavia and the Baltic region. The majority of the trace fossils come from the Ordovician Orthoceratite Limestone, which is exposed mainly in southern and central Sweden, western Russia and Estonia, and also in Norway (Oslo Region). The most interesting discovery in these deposits is the occurrence of Arachnostega gastrochaenae in the Ordovician trilobites (?Megistaspis sp. and Asaphus sp.), cephalopods and hyolithids. This is the first report ofArachnostega on a trilobite (?Megistaspis) from Sweden. So far, this ichnotaxon was described on trilobites from Baltoscandia only from the St.

Lindquist, Consulting Geologist Contractor to the U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, CO October, 1999 FOREWORD This report was prepared as part of the World Energy Project of the U.S. Geological Survey. In the project, the world was divided into 8 regions and 937 geologic provinces. The provinces have been ranked according to the discovered oil and gas volumes within each (Klett and others, 1997). Then, 76 "priority" provinces (exclusive of the U.S. and chosen for their high ranking) and 26 "boutique" provinces (exclusive of the U.S. and chosen for their anticipated petroleum richness or special regional economic importance) were selected for appraisal of oil and gas resources. The petroleum geology of these priority and boutique provinces is described in this series of reports. A detailed report containing the assessment results will be available separately, if such results are not reported herein. The priority South Barents Basin Province ranks 35th in the world, exclusive of the U.S.

  • Strophomenide and Orthotetide Silurian Brachiopods from the Baltic Region, with Particular Reference to Lithuanian Boreholes
    Strophomenide and orthotetide Silurian brachiopods from the Baltic region, with particular reference to Lithuanian boreholes PETRAS MUSTEIKIS and L. ROBIN M. COCKS Musteikis, P. and Cocks, L.R.M. 2004. Strophomenide and orthotetide Silurian brachiopods from the Baltic region, with particular reference to Lithuanian boreholes. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 49 (3): 455–482. Epeiric seas covered the east and west parts of the old craton of Baltica in the Silurian and brachiopods formed a major part of the benthic macrofauna throughout Silurian times (Llandovery to Pridoli). The orders Strophomenida and Orthotetida are conspicuous components of the brachiopod fauna, and thus the genera and species of the superfamilies Plec− tambonitoidea, Strophomenoidea, and Chilidiopsoidea, which occur in the Silurian of Baltica are reviewed and reidentified in turn, and their individual distributions are assessed within the numerous boreholes of the East Baltic, particularly Lithua− nia, and attributed to benthic assemblages. The commonest plectambonitoids are Eoplectodonta(Eoplectodonta)(6spe− cies), Leangella (2 species), and Jonesea (2 species); rarer forms include Aegiria and Eoplectodonta (Ygerodiscus), for which the new species E. (Y.) bella is erected from the Lithuanian Wenlock. Eight strophomenoid families occur; the rare Leptaenoideidae only in Gotland (Leptaenoidea, Liljevallia). Strophomenidae are represented by Katastrophomena (4 spe− cies), and Pentlandina (2 species); Bellimurina (Cyphomenoidea) is only from Oslo and Gotland. Rafinesquinidae include widespread Leptaena (at least 11 species) and Lepidoleptaena (2 species) with Scamnomena and Crassitestella known only from Gotland and Oslo. In the Amphistrophiidae Amphistrophia is widespread, and Eoamphistrophia, Eocymostrophia, and Mesodouvillina are rare. In the Leptostrophiidae Mesoleptostrophia, Brachyprion,andProtomegastrophia are com− mon, but Eomegastrophia, Eostropheodonta, Erinostrophia,andPalaeoleptostrophia are only recorded from the west in the Baltica Silurian.

  • The Viruan (Middle Ordovician) of Öland
    The Viruan (Middle Ordovician) of Öland By Valdar Jaanusson ABSTRACT.-The stratigraphy and lithology of the Viruan (Middle Ordovician) Iimestones of the bed-rock of Öland are described based on three bares and on field work in the outcrop area. A combined litho- and bio-stratigraphic classification (termed topo-stratigraphic) is introduced for the described sequence. The names of the Estonian stages (Aserian, Lasnamägian, Uhakuan, and Kukrusean) are used as chrono-stratigraphic references instead of the previous Swedish names of the units of stage category (Platyurus, Schroeteri, Crassicauda, and Ludibundus, re­ spectivcly). New topo-stratigraphic divisions are Segerstad Limestone (of Aserian age), Skärlöv, Seby, and Folkeslunda Limestones (of Lasnamägian age), Furudal, Källa, and Persnäs Lime­ stones (of Uhakuan age), and Dalby Limestone (of Kukrusean age in the bed-rock of Öland). The Aserian Lasnamägian topo-stratigraphic divisions have the same lithological characteris­ and tics throughout Öland. The Uhakuan beds are developed as calcilutites (Furudal Limestone) on southern Öland continuing as a tongue (Källa Limestone) on northern Öland. The middle and upper part of the Uhakuan beds of northern Öland consist of calcarenites (Persnäs Limestone) lithologically indistiguishable from the Kukrusean Dalby Limestone which forms the bed-rock only on northern Öland. Within the Segerstad Limestone two zones are distinguished (z. of Angelinoceras latum and z. of Illaenus planifrons).H ouvr ' s zones of Lituites discors, L. lituus, and L. perfectus are of Lasna­ mägian age, and their stratigraphic position and fauna! characteristics are described.
