In Scladina cave, oscillations between glacial and more temperate episodes have been demonstrated by microfaunal, palinological, and isotopic data.
The Silurian section has served as a standard for regional and interregional studies as a consequence of its well-documented macro- and microfaunal assemblages.
Qualitative analyses of macro-and microfaunal assemblages often, though not always, also support the patterns described above.
Among the microfaunal elements, the planktonic foraminifera suffered almost complete annihilation, and catastrophic extinction of almost all coccolithic algae also occurred at the end of the period.
