| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study reconstructs an environmental change during the latest Ordovician to earliest Silurian time, when a mass extinction occurred, based on the paleontological, sedimentological, and geochemical analyses. The end-Ordovician global cooling is widely accepted as being the cause of the extinction. The sedimentological study and the carbon isotopic analysis show that this study area also went through a cooling and regression events in the Late Ordovician. The carbon/sulfur ratio reveals that recovery of the environment took a relatively long time and that the climate was gradually getting warm with a cyclic alternation of warm and cool periods throughout the Early Silurian. The sedimentological and micropaleontological data also support this conclusion.
