Statistical analysis based on global data indicated that the planktonic graptolites presented a distinguished pattern from that of benthic communities during the great Ordovician biodiversification. The graptolites st...
The graptolites studied here were collected from the Ashgillian Wufeng Formation in Wuning County, Jiangxi Province, which included 9 species of Dicellograptus, 2 species of Tangyagraptus and 1 species of Dicranograpt...
