Abstract

Conodont dating of some Telychian (Silurian) sections in Estonia

Highlights

  • Different intervals of Telychian (Adavere Stage) and/or lower Sheinwoodian (Jaani Stage) strata are exposed in the sections discussed below

  • Several Telychian–Sheinwoodian strata exposed in Estonia are precisely dated using conodont biostratigraphy

  • In terms of sequence stratigraphy, the strata of the Adavere Stage correspond to Sequence 4 (S4) and those of the Mustjala Member to the lower part of Sequence 5 (S5) (Harris et al 2005)

Summary

Introduction

Different intervals of Telychian (Adavere Stage) and/or lower Sheinwoodian (Jaani Stage) strata are exposed in the sections discussed below. The strata in the Velise-Kõrgekalda section correspond to the Lower subzone of the P. amorphognathoides angulatus Zone. The sample (M-1962; weight 5.31 kg) comes from a bed between two discontinuity surfaces, the upper of which is considered to correspond to the boundary between the Rumba and Velise formations.
