Comparisons of the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic large igneous provinces and black shales in the North China and North Australian cratons [PDF]
Fundamental Research, 2022 Comparisons of large igneous provinces (LIPs) and black shales from different cratons can provide important constraints on Precambrian paleogeographic reconstructions and a better understanding of the environmental effects of large-scale volcanic events.

A non-zircon Hf isotope record in Archean black shales from the Pilbara craton confirms changing crustal dynamics ca. 3 Ga ago [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Plate tectonics and associated subduction are unique to the Earth. Studies of Archean rocks show significant changes in composition and structural style around 3.0 to 2.5 Ga that are related to changing tectonic regime, possibly associated with the onset

Tectonic, foreland-basin origins of Upper Ordovician black gas shales in the Appalachian Basin of eastern United States [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Black gas shales are major parts of many foreland-basin sequences and comprise important components of unconformity-bound tectophase cycles, which reflect sedimentary/stratigraphic, flexural responses to deformational loading and relaxation in an orogen.
