Dolomitic Microfossil Preservation in a Cryogenian Microbial Reef, Arkaroola (South Australia)
ABSTRACT Microbial dolostones that now form the Arkaroola reef, northern Adelaide Rift Complex, and were deposited during the Cryogenian interglacial period, display a wide range of meso‐scale stromatolite morphotypes in outcrop. Microcharacterisation involving optical microscopy, combined scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy

Red to Green: A Lipid Biomarker Record of Tonian‐Ediacaran Algae in Siberia
ABSTRACT Multiple lines of evidence point to a major diversification of Eukarya in the late Tonian period, ca. 800–720 Ma ago. Regular steranes, lipid biomarkers primarily sourced from eukaryotes, are first unambiguously reported from multiple sites. Here, we present lipid biomarker stratigraphic records from two drill‐cores from the Lena‐Anabar Basin ...

ABSTRACT Following the largest known Phanerozoic extinction, the end‐Permian mass extinction, the Early Triassic is often considered an interval of slow biotic recovery. During this time, the minor Smithian‐Spathian extinction occurred, further delaying the biotic recovery of this epoch.

ABSTRACT The enigmatic Ediacara biota represents Earth's earliest example of macroscopic, complex life, yet the driving forces promoting their mid‐Ediacaran evolution and subsequent extinction across the Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary remain speculative. If these were true animals requiring oxygen for aerobic respiration, their rise has often been linked ...
