 | | Ranges of over 400 conodont, graptolite, and chitinozoa species in 63 stratigraphic sections in North America, Europe, and Australia comprise the framework for a Silurian (upper Llandovery-Pridoli)-lowest Devonian (Lochkovian) chronostratigraphy developed using the graphic correlation method and recently revised with the inclusion of additional stratigraphic sections containing much new range data. |
 | | The upper Llandovery-lowest Lochkovian chronostratigraphy recognizes 20 conodont chronozones, 24 graptolite chronozones, and seven chitinozoa chronozones, as well as seven conodont subchronozones and four chitinozoa subchronozones. |
 | | Isotopic data from near the Llandovery/Wenlock, Wenlock/Ludlow, and Silurian/Devonian boundaries, the Ludlow-Pridoli succession of the Simpson Park Range 1, Nevada, United States section, and the upper Llandovery-Wenlock succession of the Cellon, Austria section facilitate the development of a calibrated time scale for the Silurian (late Llandovery-Pridoli). |
