Abstract
Evolutionary history of Early Paleozoic pentamerids, which first appeared in the Late Ordovician and existed until the Early Devonian in the Timan-North Ural Basin is closely related to changes in sedimentation conditions, processes of the reef formation, and considerable rearrangements in marine ecosystems. Several parallel pentamerid communities similar in ecology and morphology are recognized.
