Phytoplankton dynamics from the Cambrian Explosion to the onset of the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event: a review of Cambrian acritarch diversity [PDF]
Most early Palaeozoic acritarchs are thought to represent a part of the marine phytoplankton and so constituted a significant element at the base of the marine trophic chain during the ‘Cambrian Explosion’ and the subsequent ‘Great Ordovician ...

Tropical Warming and Intensification of the West African Monsoon During the Miocene Climatic Optimum
Abstract Studying monsoon dynamics during past warm time periods such as the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO; ∼16.9–14.5 Ma) could greatly aid in better projecting monsoon intensity, in the context of future greenhouse warming. However, studies on regional MCO temperature change and its effect on the monsoons during this time period are lacking. Here, we

The Weng’an Biota (Doushantuo Formation):an Ediacaran window on soft bodied and multicellular microorganisms [PDF]
The Weng’an Biota is a fossil Konservat-Lagerstätte in South China that is approximately 570-600 million years old and provides an unparalleled snapshot of marine life during the interval in which molecular clocks estimate that animal clades were ...

Acritarchs of the Ediacaran Frecheirinha Formation, Ubajara Group, Northeastern Brazil
We report for the first time the occurrence of organic-walled microfossils in Ediacaran limestones and marls of the Frecheirinha Formation, Ubajara Group, and the first Precambrian acritarchs so far reported for northeastern Brazil. The assemblage of the

Biostratigraphie par Acritarches du Cambro-Ordovicien de Belgique et des regions limitotrophes: synthese et perspectives d'avenir [PDF]
The stratigraphic significance of Cambrian and Ordovician acritarchs in Belgium and adjacent areas is discussed. It now appears that the age of the Deville group in the Ardenne (more precisely the upper part of this group) should be broadened to include ...
