The Hirnantian Glisstjärn Formation (<i>Normalograptus persculptus graptolite</i> Biozone) is a succession of limestones and shales onlapping the Katian Boda Limestone in the Siljan District, Sweden. It contains a conspicuous, up to several decimeter thick bed densely packed with bipolarly oriented, orthoconic cephalopod conchs that can reach lengths of more than 120 cm. Conch fragmentation, bioereosion and the generally poor preservation of the conchs indicate time averaging and the conchs are tentatively interpreted as beached, and a result of winnowing. Ten nautiloid species were collected from the Glisstjärn Formation of which five are new: <i>Dawsonoceras gregarium</i> n. sp., <i>Discoceras siljanense</i> n. sp., <i>Isorthoceras dalecarlense</i> n. sp., <i>Retizitteloceras rarum</i> gen. et sp. n., and <i>Transorthoceras osmundsbergense</i> gen. et sp. n. The non-endemic taxa in most cases are known from elsewhere in Baltoscandia, except one species which is known from Siberia, and North America respectively. Proteocerid orthoceridans dominate the association, of which <i>T. osmundsbergense</i> is the predominant species. Oncocerids are diverse but together with tarphycerids very rare. Notable is the lack of many higher taxa, that are typical for other Late Ordovician shallow water depositional settings. Based on the taxonomical composition of the cephalopod mass occurrence it is interpreted as an indicator of eutrophication of the water masses in the area. <br><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.201000014" target="_blank">10.1002/mmng.201000014</a>
