See Taz orach Chaim 46 and a wholeslew of literature re: litrugy
Most litrugy was actually codified inthe Ga'onic era, especially Seder Rav
Amram Gaon and Seder Ram Sa'adyah Ga'on

Rabbeinu Tam leans heavily upon Seder Rav Amram [See I. Ta Sham's quote in
hakdamah to Minhag Asshkenaz Hakadmon
Most/all of those non-Talmudic Brachos are Ga'onic NOT Rishonic [except
perahp like al nekkiyus Yadayyim - Rosh]

Examples:

   1. Baruch Hshem L'olam
   2. Neros Shabbos
   3. Mekadesh es shimcha barabbim
   4. Hanosein layaeif Ko'ach

 ==================================================================

As far as Halachic rules on HOW to pasken from Bavli, virtually all are
Ga'onic [some are Sabora'ic but why quibble  [--smile--]

=====================================================================
Rambam at times treats Ga'onic rulings as Talmudic
Rosh does this at others

Poskim give mixed reviews on meat that has not been salted for 3 days [after
al lit's ONLY Ga'onic]

Similarly Ta'anis Esther and Aveilus in Sefira is ONLY Ga'onic but is often
treated as Talmudic.  RYBS even imposes Talmudic stictures on Aveilus of
Sefira which is a late Ga'onic minhag
