Abstract Aggregated clusters of acritarchs are relatively common among assemblages of organic‐walled microfossils, yet such associations have received relatively little attention. Here we report a new diversity of acritarch clusters from the early Cambrian Buen Formation of North Greenland.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Acritarchs from the Duolbagáisá Formation (Cambrian Series 2–Miaolingian) on the Digermulen Peninsula, Finnmark, Arctic Norway: towards a high-resolution Cambrian chronostratigraphy [PDF]
New information on acritarchs from the Duolbagáisá Formation, Digermulen Peninsula, Arctic Norway, enable recognition of the three Cambrian Series 2 acritarch-based zones: the Skiagia ornata–Fimbriaglomerella membranacea, Heliosphaeridium dissimilare ...

The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran-Cambrian metazoans. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major

Acritarchs of Llandeilo and Caradoo age from classic localities in Britain. [PDF]
The last two decades have seen the publication of a large number of papers dealing with Palaeozoic acritarchs including many devoted to the description of Ordovician assemblages.

1. Acritarchs are a polyphyletic group of unicellular organisms, essentially marine and fossil, with a very resistant organic membrane; the majority probably represent the cysts of microscopic, extinct eukaryote algae. This review gives a general account

Abstract Barite serves as a key proxy for reconstructing paleo‐oceanic productivity and chemistry in modern and ancient marine sediments. Although contemporary barite precipitation involves biological mediation, the mechanisms responsible for ancient barite formation remain unclear.

Lower Ordovican acritarchs from successions in England and North Wales. [PDF]
One hundred and thirty eight acritarch taxa are described from the organic residues of samples collected in North Wales, Shropshire, and the Lake District. The species occur in one or more of 16 microfloral assemblages, selected from 88 prepared samples.

New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025
New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025 (NZGT 2025) is the first comprehensive update and revision of the New Zealand Geological Timescale in a decade. The criteria used to establish age ranges of New Zealand Stages within the NZGT have been reviewed, calibrated, and revised where required against the 2023/04 International Chronostratigraphic Chart and ...
