A Cenozoic-style scenario for the end-Ordovician glaciation
International audience The end-Ordovician was an enigmatic interval in the Phanerozoic, known for massiveglaciation potentially at elevated CO2 levels, biogeochemical cycle disruptions recorded aslarge isotope anomalies and a devastating extinction event.
