A speculated glaciation in the middle Darriwilian corresponds to the MDICE positive carbon isotope excursion. [14] Sea level changes likely reflective of glacioeustasy are known from this geologic stage, around 467 Ma. [1] However, there are no known Middle Ordovician glacial deposits that would provide direct geological evidence of glaciation.

In fact, the Hirnantian (also known as the End Ordovician and the Ordovician-Silurian) mass extinction event represents the second largest such event in geologic history. Approximately 85% of marine (sea-dwelling) species died. Only the End-Permian mass extinction was larger. Unlike many smaller extinction events, however, the long-term ...

The Ordovician–Silurian extinction events may have been caused by an ice age that occurred at the end of the Ordovician Period, due to the expansion of the first terrestrial plants, [54] as the end of the Late Ordovician was one of the coldest times in the last 600 million years of Earth's history.
The plant shows a high degree of development in relation to the age of its fossil remains. Fossils of this plant have been recorded in Australia, [39] [40] Canada, [41] and China. [42] Eohostimella heathana is an early, probably terrestrial, "plant" known from compression fossils [43] of Early Silurian (Llandovery) age. [44]
The Sandbian is the first stage of the Upper Ordovician.It follows the Darriwilian and is succeeded by the Katian.Its lower boundary is defined as the first appearance datum of the graptolite species Nemagraptus gracilis around 458.2 million years ago.
Depictions in medieval Catholic art, such as the 15th-century Burning Bush Triptych altarpiece, therefore typically show a Virgin and Child in the middle of the bush or tree. The inscription on the base of the frame which translates (from Latin) as "In the bush which Moses saw burning without being consumed, we recognised, Holy Mother of God ...
