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.

CARBONATES OF ORE DEPOSITS OF PRECAMBRIAN OF THE CENTRAL PART OF THE UKRAINIAN SHIELD
The article presents the results of study of the isotopic composition of oxygen and carbon of carbonates in ore deposits of the Early Pre-cambrian of the Ukrainian Shield. The following objects were studied: 1. Iron ore formations of the Kryvyi Rih ultra-

Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

2200 million years of crustal evolution: The Baltic Shield [PDF]
The crustal history of the Baltic shield is interpreted in the light of the plate tectonic concept. Five tectonic cycles, each characterized by special lithological and structural features, are distinguished: The Early Archean (> 2900 Ma), the Late ...

Drilling for the Archean Roots of Life and Tectonic Earth in the Barberton Mountains [PDF]
In the Barberton Scientific Drilling Program (BSDP) we successfully completed three drill holes in 2008 across strategically selected rock formations in the early Archean Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa.
