Estonia. This proposal was not realized but the descriptions of objects were used in the Estonian Primeval Nature Book. She compiled identification cards for more than 40 Saaremaa cliffs and outcrops important for the Silurian palaeontology and stratigraphy, representing type sections of certain stratigraphic units and sites of special fossils. The descriptions of the bedrock objects (cliffs, outcrops) of the Primeval Nature Book have been entered in the Estonian Nature Information System (EELIS).

Later, however, they focused on a comparative study of fish teeth and gill-rakers, which have very different morphologies in different taxa and are valuable in characterizing species but could also be used in establishing new ones. Märss has started similar research also on clupeiforms. With such work she laid the foundation of microichthyological studies in

In addition to fossil distribution in the Silurian and Lower Devonian, the carbon isotope curves of geological sections of these islands were compared with those of the Baltic and the Central Ural ones, similar curve patterns were found, and these distant sections were correlated.

Her interest in fossil vertebrates arose and deepened through the geology projects of undergraduate students (1967, 1969), graduation (diploma) work (1970) at Tartu State University and in studies for the Candidate of Sciences thesis (PhD) in the Institute of Geology (1983).
