The ‘biomineralization toolkit’ and the origin of animal skeletons
ABSTRACT Biomineralized skeletons are widespread in animals, and their origins can be traced to the latest Ediacaran or early Cambrian fossil record, in virtually all animal groups. The origin of animal skeletons is inextricably linked with the diversification of animal body plans and the dramatic changes in ecology and geosphere–biosphere interactions

Chemo- and biostratigraphy of the Gaojiashan section (northern Yangtze platform, South China): a new Pc-C boundary section [PDF]
The widespread, terminal Ediacaran Dengying Formation (~ 551–~ 542 Ma) of South China hosts one of the most prominent negative carbonate carbon isotope excursions in Earth's history and thus bears on the correlation of the Precambrian–Cambrian boundary ...

Borings in Cloudina Shells: Complex Predator-Prey Dynamics in the Terminal Neoproterozoic
Abstract Predation as an important driver of evolutionary change long has been assumed, despite difficulties to substantiate it with specific examples of predatory interaction, especially for the early Paleozoic diversification of animal life. This study corroborates the existence of shell-drilling predation in the uppermost Neoproterozoic of China ...

Affinity of Ediacaran skeletal fauna and their environmental context [PDF]
The Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary (~541 million years ago (Ma)) signifies the start of the ‘Cambrian Explosion’ of animals, and by 520 Ma most major phyla had emerged.

Constraining the onset and environmental setting of metazoan biomineralization: the Ediacaran Nama Group of the Tsaus Mountains, Namibia [PDF]
The advent of animal (metazoan) biomineralization marks a fundamental transition in Earth's history, facilitating the diversification of novel body plans as well as the biological control of carbonate sediment production, resulting in a permanent ...
