Ordovicium

*Zygospirae modestae* plures (Brachiopoda) ad trepostoma quoddam (Bryozoa) adhaerentes, e serie Ordovicia superiori Indianae meridiorientalis

Ordovicium^[1] est systema stratigraphicum et periodus geologica.

Divisio secunda ab infima constituit tam aerae Palaeozoicae quam aeonis Phanerozoicae. Abhinc 4 854 ± 19 centies milium annorum coepit, antecessore Cambrio. Finem habuit abhinc 4 434 ± 15 centies milium annorum, successore Silurio, secundum scalam aevorum geologicorum Commissionis Internationalis Stratigraphicae.^[2] Ordovicium inceptum ex antiquissimis fossilibus Iapetognathi fluctivagi datur.^[3]

In tres series dividitur, quae inferius, medium, superius appellantur. In septem stadia dividitur, quae ab infimo ad supremum Tremadocium, Floium, Dapingium, Darriwilium, Sandbium, Katium, Himantium appellantur.^[4]

Ad initium systematis Ordovicii recognoscitur exstinctionem multorum specierum circa annorum 488 milies milium incidentem. Medio systemati Ordovicio testimonia reperiuntur abhinc circa annorum 467.5 ± 0.28 milies milium magnae pluviae meteoritarum L chondritarim,^[5] deinde glaciationis,^[6] deinde diversificationis specierum.^[7]

Systema Ordovicium e nomine Ordovicum populi antiqui Cambriae septentrionalis appellatur. Nomen Anglicum Ordovician system a Carolo Lapworth anno 1879 definitum est e stratis eiusdem regionis quae eruditi priores aut sub Cambrio aut sub Silurio ordinabant.^[8]^[9]

Here, then, have we the hint for the appropriate title for the central system of the Lower Palaeozoics. It should be called the Ordovician System, after this old British tribe" (pp. 13-14): Charles Lapworth, "On the Tripartite Classification of the Lower Palaeozoic Rocks" in Geological Magazine decas 2 vol. 6 (1879) pp. 1-15
