Extended Data Fig. 1: Distribution of Ordovician Lagerstätten.
From: The Cabrières Biota (France) provides insights into Ordovician polar ecosystems
(a) Early Ordovician palaeomap showing some of the significant Ordovician Lagerstätten, in addition to the newly discovered Cabrières Biota. (b) Stratigraphic formations yielding soft-tissue preservation during the Ordovician. The Cabrières Biota from the Landeyran Formation is the close to the Ordovician South Pole. It should be noted that some of the plotted sites in (a) date from the Middle or Upper Ordovician and not from the Early Ordovician. The paleomap is modified from Scotese96 but different reconstructions97 show rather comparable paleogeographic distributions. Dapingien (Dapin), Hirnantian (Hirn).
